After Christmas Deals

So, this project is a very simple one and only cost $1.49. I found deeply discounted Christmas cards almost a month after Christmas at CVS.

These beautiful Hallmark cards originally sold at $14.99 and were now 90% off. Yep. That’s $1.49 for 40 cards and 40 envelopes. I took two different boxes to play with.

The first one has red as its main color. The decoration on the front is already naturally round. This is perfect for a paper ball ornament. Cut three or five identical circles (I recommend using something to trace them with- a small saucer, a cup rim). Next, fold each circle up-and-down, picture in. Then, adhere to each other. I use double-sided tape as it sticks very well immediately. I used a cafe rod clip as the hook. You can also hole punch an opening in the top and use a traditional ornament hook. Also, you can thread pretty thread through the middle folded in half to create a tassel on the bottom and a loop for hanging on the top. Be sure to thread the string in before taping the circles together.

This card has a “Happy Holidays” message on the bottom that I cut into gift tags.

Two different crafts for each card. Plus 40 envelopes. Quite a deal.
