How to Make Christmas Ornaments out of Cards Using a Triangle & a Circle

At the end of Christmas you don't have to throw away all the cards your family and friends send you. Instead use them to create ornaments that you can use to decorate your tree next year. Each year add new ornaments to change the appearance. Make a note on the back of the ornament to remember when your friend or family sent you the card. Use supplies from around the house to create these triangle and circle ornaments.

Things You'll Need

• Holiday cards
• Ribbon
• Scissors
• Hooks

Instructions

1. Cut circles from the cards you wish to use. Encircle scenes on the cards or designs you like.

2. Place the circles on the cards you want to cut the triangles from as a guide. Leave 2 inches between the edge of the circle and the outer edge of the triangle. Cut the triangles out. Use a crafting knife to cut all but a one inch border around the triangle.

3. Punch a small hole in the top of the circle and the inside of the triangle. Connect it using ribbon.

4. Punch a small hole at the very top of the triangle. Insert a hook and hang from your Christmas tree as an ornament.
