Advent and Christmas paper crafts are fun for the whole family. With a few simple tricks, last year's Christmas cards can become this year's festive decorations, bringing back memories while making the home feel cheerful again.
Christmas paper crafts with upcycled cards
Old Christmas cards may not be part of a typical Christmas decoration plan, but the cards we receive from family and friends often have sentimental value. Instead of storing them away, use them for fresh ornaments and make room for new greetings. You need paper, glue, colored ribbons and bows. Draw a chosen shape – a Christmas tree, star or snowman – cut it out and decorate it as you like. Hang some ornaments on the wall and attach others to gifts. Christmas figures can even be dressed up with small crafted hats or accessories.
Advent leftovers for Christmas paper crafts
A single handmade card can be a wonderful gift. Grandparents, in particular, are often delighted to receive a personal Christmas greeting. Old cards, cardboard, velvet and decorative paper are all useful for Christmas crafts. Paper is easy to fold and glue, so beautiful decorations can be made quickly and inexpensively. This collection is full of inspiring paper ideas.
