Lacing Cards

I don't know about you, but at our house, I can always find an old greeting card of some type laying around. My girls are collectors of old cards and they never want to throw any away. So, this is a great way to recycle these cards into something fun!

1. Select a card or postcard.


2. If using a folded card, glue it closed.


3. Using a hole punch, punch some holes around the outside edge.


4. Now your child can "sew" around the outside using a shoe lace or a piece of yarn with tape around the end.


*If you would like to reinforce your lacing card a bit more, you can cover it with clear contact paper before punching the holes.
