Green Crafts-How to Recycle Greeting cards and Make Wonderfully Unique Gift Tags

You can now recycle those beautiful hard to throw away greeting cards in a variety of ways.  For this project we show you how to create a unique and eye catching gift tag that would normally cost a few dollars if purchased in most stores.  By simply recycling a greeting card, you’ll be doing your part towards recycling and have a custom designed gift tag of your own.

Begin by using craft scissors that have a nice scalloped edge to cut out the front section of the greeting card.  Next, using a hole puncher with a design of your choice, punch out a hole, 1/2 inch from the top of what will soon be your custom gift tag.  Now, thread a pretty ribbon or decorative string through the hole creating a bow.  Try using a multi-colored ribbon that will coordinate with the colors of your gift wrapped package.  That is all there is to creating a simple and quick one of a kind gift tag.

For this project you will need the following supplies:

• Recycled Greeting card
• Craft scissors
• Red and white plaid satin ribbon (¾ inch or small). Any coordinating pattern would be fine at long as the ribbon you choose to use is not a solid color.  For example, using a red and white candy striped ribbon instead of plaid ribbon would also work for this project (Christmas recycled greeting card.)
• Fine point writing pen to address the tag – black, red or green
• Wrapped gift box or package
• Hole puncher
