Here is the link to this project on my Crafting for Christmas Pinterest board: Christmas Card Banner. If you click the "website" link at the top, you'll be taken to bhg.com, where you can access the specific directions.
We did adapt the idea very freely, as I explain in the post on my Christmas blog, substituting card stock for fabric. I especially liked that this project used not only the fronts of cards but some of the inside verses as well. We had some older cards to use and some of them had lovely verses indeed.
Are you interested in a simple project that elementary aged kids will enjoy? Or do you just enjoy playing with old Christmas cards and scissors as I do? In either case, you may want to check this out!
What a great idea Mrs T. I always hate to toss the pretty Christmas cards. Maybe Kendall and I can make some of these!
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be fun, Arlene! I hope you do it! Be sure and post pictures if you do!
ReplyDeleteHey... did you get the tree up? J & H bought a tree... grumble, grumble. It their money. We could have cut one this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a fake pre-lighted (white lights) tree that we bought at an after-Christmas clearance a couple of years ago. I love the scent of a real tree, but the convenience of pre-lighted is so nice!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been fun for you all to go tree-cutting together. Oh well ... maybe next year!
