If you are like me you hate to throw away those beautiful 
Christmas cards you receive each year.

Here's what I do and what I've done with my Christmas cards for 27 years now.

I recycle them into gift tags for next year.

The first thing I do is to cut the cards into tag shapes.

Depending on the size of the card and the picture on the front, you can get one tag or several small ones from each Christmas card.

The size of the tag depends on the picture you want to display on the tags.

Some Christmas cards have beautiful 3D designs you can feature when you cut around the shape for your tag. 

I punch a hole in the tag and add a length of baker's twine.

And I'm set for gift tags for next Christmas!
