Recycling Holiday Cards

The Christmas season is over and the basket of Christmas cards you have accumulated from friends and family are sitting there. Now, what do you do with them? You can recycle most of them but why not get a second use out of them before throwing them in the recycling bin. Here are some ideas.

1) Cut out pictures that would make good gift tags. I have done this for years. It saves money and natural resources on buying gift tags.

2) Pull the front covers off and use the blank side for recipe cards, notecards, postcards, etc.

3) Cut up the blank areas and use them for scrap note paper.

4) Cut out small rectangles of color and use as bookmarks.

5) Give them to your children to cut up to use in their craft projects.

These are just a few ideas to get you started.
