Christmas cards are often seen, displayed, and packed or thrown away. For those who save the cards, stacks soon appear, along with dust, and yet, it is impossible to throw away the cards. Fortunately, Christmas cards do not have to be put away, they can become part of the Christmas décor in many ways, one being festive framed pictures.
Materials:
- 4X6 and 5X7 picture frames (number depends on number of cards being framed)
- Christmas cards
Cut the cards to fit inside the frames. Place frames in hallways, kids rooms, bathroom, Kitchen, and other areas to add Christmas cheer.
Easy, very inexpensive. Even so, this can be turned into a kids craft, using wooden frames found at craft stores, glitters, ribbons, stickers, and paint for them to give their frame a personal touch.
