Christmas Family Projects

For A Fun Holiday Season

Obtain your cards below to begin all card projects if you don't have your own collection. I've always saved cards that I've received from all occasions because my children, and now grandchildren love to look at them. So if you have your own collection you can use those for the projects in this series.

Look up our dough art collection of free projects that you can also use successfully with the cards that will make unique projects you can give to those you love.

Vintage Card Crafts Tips

Christmas preparation decorating at it's best requires that you examine everything you already have and make a list of what you will need. A good criteria for decorating is to consider your home environment and decorating theme already in place throughout the room where you'll be placing your tree as well as other rooms and exterior areas you wish to decorate.

Always consider safety first so if a task is especially difficult such as requiring special wiring, for example, you may wish to obtain professional help from a licensed electrician. You might also wish to consider a plug strip for the use of multiple plug in chords.

That's the beauty of year round Christmas preparation decorating. You can take your time getting everything done correctly and safely. You'll make Christmas so much easier.

Christmas Card Wreath

Step #1 - You will need a large piece of cardboard. Draw a circle the size you wish the wreath to be. Now cut out the circle and draw another circle in the middle so that you leave at least 6" all around the outside of the circle.

Step #2 - You will need all those old Christmas cards you have stashed away in the attic, or under your bed or perhaps in the basement.

Step #3 - Kids love to go through these old Christmas cards picking out their favories to use in this craft.

Step #4 - Line up the cards on the wreath so they encircle the wreath side by side. You can overlap the cards for a great affect.

Step #5 - Now glue the card backs to the wreath where you want them until the entire wreath is covered with Christmas cards.

Step #6 - Attach a holiday bow and you have a fantastic wreath for your home.
