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.

I have been meaning to make these and ended up just buying the M & D set. You might have inspired me to still make some... :)
