HOLIDAY DIY: Make a Merry Wreath with Holiday Cards!

  • Dec 16, 2024
  • 1 min read


What you need:  

  • Holiday cards or photos (approximately 20-30 cards depending on wreath size)  

  • Double-sided tape, glue gun-kid friendly 

  • Hanger  

 

Optional: Ribbon, Pinecones, etc 

 

How to create: 

  • Lay out cards or photographs on flat surface large enough to place and design in wreath shape 

  • Overlap cards a minimum of 1 ½’- 2 inches for stability.  

  • Glue cards to one another keeping them in place 

  • Once sure all are glued firmly together turn wreath over gently using both hands 

  • Glue loose areas 

  • Attach plastic hanger leaving the top ‘hook’ clear 

  • Let dry and hang 

 

Optional: Add ribbons or other light ornamentation

This is such a clever way to use up the pile of cards I always feel guilty tossing! The tip about overlapping them at least 1 ½ inches makes total sense—I can see how that would keep the wreath from falling apart. Speaking of holiday photos, I was just messing around with making some of our old card pictures look intentionally goofy and low quality image style for a laugh, and this wreath idea would be perfect for those funny prints too. Definitely trying this with the kids this weekend!

This is such a clever way to use up those holiday cards instead of tossing them! I love that it’s kid-friendly with the glue gun, and the double-sided tape trick makes it super easy to layer. I’ve been using https://musevideo.site

This is such a clever way to use up the pile of cards I can never throw away—love that it’s kid-friendly with the glue gun. I’ve been using a similar trick for gift tags, but this wreath idea is way cuter, check out https://aivideoonline.com

Love this idea for upcycling all those cards we never know what to do with! The double-sided tape trick sounds way easier than wrestling with a glue gun. I've been using https://revid-ai.com
