Christmas cards have 101 uses. Before yesterday, I thought they had one maybe two possible functions, tops. Interesting, yes? I'm referring to the many ways a Christmas card may be repurposed and not my stunning lack of imagination or knowledge in this area, which is more like an embarrassment or a travesty than anything else.One of the simplest ways to reuse a Christmas card is to turn it into a gift tag. All it takes is some scissors or pinking shears, cookie cutters or other decorative cutting shapes, a pen or pencil, string or ribbon, and a hole punch. Begin by separating the front cover of a Christmas card from the back. It is easiest to tear along the edge. Recycle the back of the card. Trace the outline of a cookie cutter or even the rim of a drinking glass onto the reverse side of the Christmas card's front cover (the side w/o the printed pattern). Cut out the design and punch a hole near the top. Write "to" and "from" on on the tag. Thread colored string or ribbon through the hole and attach to a gift. Done and done!
It so simple it is ridiculous.
