after the holidays, i gather all of our cards we received from our family and friends, some thread (ribbon would be nice), a package of zots, and a 1.5 inch and a 2 inch cirlce punch.
first i take the circle punches to the cards. then i stick a zot onto one of the cut-outs and place the thread onto the zot and sandwich it in there with another cut-out, so that there is an image on both sides. that's it. it's that simple. and i think it's really pretty cute.
i think with this years cards i will add an even larger punch to the mix and then punch small holes in the cut outs and string with ribbon.
*since i used such thin thread, storing this was a concern. i just took a piece of cardboard and carefully wrapped the garland around it. *
do you have any creative ideas for repurposing the holiday cards you receive? i'd love to hear them!
how very clever. Thank you... I certainly plan to do this and pass it on to some friends...
