Do you have a pattern for the tissue box cover made out of Christmas cards? I would gladly pay to purchase this pattern. Thank you.

I like to laminate the card, put a notch on the top and bottom of the center fold and wrap a stretchy cord along the center. I take plain or lined paper folded in half ( like book pages) and slide them under the cord. Taking another length of stretchy cord, I loop it on to the first cord, then knot the ends together as a closure for my new memo pad. I like to keep it by my fav chair as a handy place to jot down notes. When full, I replace the pages with new.

Thanks for your fun ideas.

Thank you for these ideas!! I save the return address labels from the holiday cards we receive, and use a glue stick to affix them to the middle of the following year’s envelopes so I don’t have to address them. Saves a little paper, saves me some printer address labels, and seems personal somehow. Plus no errors!

Wide variety of ideas!
I am looking for ways to reuse cards from my parents’ 40th & 50th anniversaries, and having a hard time letting go. I also have cards from their wedding 54 years ago, and trying to find a way to make a wedding book for my son & his bride to be. Tips appreciated!

We have always reused cards for the next year’s labels. Also dresses up gift bags too.
