A handmade card conveys the message that a lot of thought has been put into the gift. It's personal and means so much more than a store bought card.

Much of our food comes packaged in cardboard boxes - cereal, muesli bars, biscuits, pasta - the list is endless. If you're like me, the boxes are thrown in the recycling bin. Yep, that's good, but finding another use for the boxes is even better. Making cards from boxes saves money, too.
I love these gift tags - simple, effective and low cost. Ros, from Sew Delicious, made them using the insert from a wine box.
Jill's Christmas cards are not only made from jeans and cereal boxes, they are reusable, too. Inside each card is a clear plastic pocket for inserting a handwritten message. Each new recipient can remove the old message, insert their own and give it to another person. I wonder if Jill will ever get one of her cards back?
Check out the following clever ideas...

What great ideas! I love the thought of making Christmas tags from cereal boxes. I don't ever buy Christmas tags.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! I found spino gambino casino while scrolling through a gambling subreddit where users shared global casino experiences. I tried it just for fun and ended up really liking the variety of games. The navigation was simple, and I appreciated how fast it all loaded. It’s one of those sites you can come back to anytime and instantly know where to start.
ReplyDeleteSalut ! J'adore l'idée de réutiliser des boîtes pour créer des cartes de Noël et des étiquettes cadeaux. C'est une manière créative et écoresponsable de donner une touche personnelle à vos cadeaux. En parlant de choses créatives, j'ai récemment découvert un site de jeux en ligne, https://win-hero.fr , qui propose des jeux divertissants tout en offrant des bonus intéressants pour les joueurs français. Si tu recherches quelque chose d'amusant et facile à utiliser, je te recommande de jeter un œil !
