Green Your Greeting Cards: Craft Projects
Holiday correspondence certainly spreads cheer, but it also consumes trees and increases waste. This week, we'll show you how to reuse, recycle, and rethink greeting cards.
Tip #3: Get Crafty
With a little bit of ingenuity, used holiday cards can be refashioned into new creations. Earlier this week, Green Life readers suggested that old greeting cards could be reincarnated as gift tags, postcards, and tree ornaments. Other options for creative reuse include holiday-themed magnets or placemats. If you're feeling ambitious, check out Squidoo's instructions for turning cards into small boxes, baskets, luminaries, journals, and other items.
