Upcycled Christmas Card Ornaments Craft

Not sure what to do with all those Christmas cards? You can make Christmas card ornaments and cards. This is a great Christmas craft to upcycle Christmas cards.

Every Christmas we receive lots of beautiful Christmas cards. They are so beautiful and I hate to throw them away.

So, we use the cards to make crafts.

The cards that have pictures of winter scenes, the kids use to make thank you cards. We send the thank you cards to family and friends thanking them for their gifts.

The Christmas cards that have pictures of Christmas scenes, we use to make Christmas ornaments that we can use the next year to decorate our Christmas tree.

We usually start by cutting all the pictures out of the Christmas cards. The kids then go through the pile to look for pictures to make their collage cards.

They take several different pictures and glue them to make a new card.

They also glue the pictures onto shapes of construction paper to make Christmas ornaments for their trees.

Cut a shape out of construction paper or cardstock. We used a star shape.

Next, cut out pictures from old Christmas cards.

Then, glue the pictures onto the construction paper shape. When finished, you can turn the ornament over to trim off the excess pictures.

Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of your ornament. String ribbon or yarn through the hole and make a loop to hang the ornament on the Christmas tree.
