Christmas tags from old cards

I have so many old Christmas cards, and didn't know what to do them. Why not make some cute pretty one of a kind Christmas tags.

All you need is some Old Christmas Cards

ribbon - optional

hole punch

tape or glue

Cut out some pictures or objects from your cards, you can either put a hole in the corner and some ribbon, or make a small fold on it and tape it to your gift.

 

Your possibilities are endless!! And this doesn't just have to be for Christmas tags ;)

Scrabble tile coasters

I've seen these around and really wanted to try it.




So I found myself a scrabble game from a yard sale for $1 and proceeded to try my hand at this with my daughter.

Well the white glue didn't work so well. We ended up using the hot glue gun. We found that a lot of the letter tiles were not the same size :(







The easiest way (we found) to do this was also to do one strip of 4 letters at a time, then glue four strips together.




We did find the craft fun, and kind of playing at the same time. Finding a bunch of four letter words.
Don't be tricked into thinking this is a breeze though, it does require a little more time and effort.
We also added some scrap fabric to the back so they slide easily across the table surface :)
