Christmas Card Garland

This garland is so simple to make, and what a great way to recycle Christmas cards. Just cut a circle around the main image on the card, then punch a couple of holes near the top of the circle. We used yarn to string the cards; crochet thread works nicely too.

A few years ago I bought several boxes of Christmas cards at after-Christmas sales, for something like 10 cents per box. And I've found that those Christmas cards have been such fun craft materials. In addition to the garland, we've used them to make bookmarks, and have also used them as materials for making homemade Christmas cards.
