Recycle Greeting Cards

By Ms. Syd Barr - Dunkirk, MD
Give the gift of love, "cards to recycle", to friends and they will definitely remember your card! Cut two equal size horizontal slits about 1/8" apart in the card where you would normally sign your name. On a separate slip of paper sign your name and slip it in the horizontal slits. Use your imagination for other messages on the card! I have been sending and receiving the same card back for years with new messages; it's something to look forward to!

I take old Christmas cards and cut them into circles. I then get some green poster board and shape the circles into the shape of a christmas tree . Then give them to friends and relatives to use as a door or wll hanger for a decoration.

There are several senior centers and schools that love old cards for their art projects. Take them to your local church as well.
Have fun

Does anyone know where I can send old greeting cards? St Jude no longer accepts them. Please email me at moorebetter66@hotmail.com. Thanks!

We recycle greeting cards by cutting up the pictures to use for gift tags, or cute clip-art to include in photo albums. (Cut out the artwork from wedding cards to dress up your wedding album.)
