On Ravelry, I came across instructions to recycle Christmas cards into gift tags. So, using the cards I received this year, I cut out the pictured fronts in ovals, circles and rounded squares, evenly whole punched and crocheted with acrylic yarn (sc through the hole and chain one) all the way around. Some I chained 50 stitches before and after for ties and others chain 10 for a loop on top. I packed them away to use on gift packages next Christmas.Tuesday, January 01, 2013
