After the holidays, you'll be left with a huge stack of holiday cards and gift packaging, which usually get tossed into the trash or recycling bin. Instead, you can reuse both your holiday cards and gift packaging by upcycling them into next year's gift tags. This is a super simple process that takes less than half an hour, leaving you with a cute stack of holiday tags to adorn next year's gifts -- and it's a great activity to do with your kids. Won't friends and family smile when they see their holiday card turn up as a gift tag on their gift next year? Read on to learn how to create these fun gift tags in a few easy steps.
Step 1: Gather Holiday Cards & Packaging
Have your children collect all of the holiday cards that are displayed on your mantle and the gift packaging that’s stacked in the garage or left lingering under the Christmas tree.
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
To create the gift tags you’ll also need: A hole punch, scissors, a paper cutter, and twine.
Step 3: Find the Best Parts
Have your children help you remove the colorful, decorative fronts of the holiday cards from the backs and cut off the parts of the gift packaging that you want to use.

GREAT idea! We always give our holiday cards to this gal my hubby works with. She uses them in scrapbooking and other crafts.
I think this is a great idea and I wrote about it in my little blog. Thank you very much.
