Don't trash your trash, when you can recycle it into beautiful cards! Make earth-friendly
masterpieces with art materials like old magazines, playing cards, scraps of cloth, wallpaper,
buttons, and other odds & ends. (It may seem odd, but you'll sure end up with something really
special!)
What you'll need:
- scrap paper, colorful photos from old magazines, buttons, feathers, etc. (be creative!)
- glue or rubber cement
- stiff paper or light cardboard
- paintbrush and paint (optional)
What to do:
- For the card, fold a small rectangular piece of stiff paper or light cardboard in half.
- Arrange buttons, beads, bits of colorful scrap paper or cloth cut into pretty shapes, and
anything else your heart desires on the card.
- Glue the pieces down with some rubber cement. You may also want to add colorful highlights
with a paintbrush and red, green, and/or gold paint.
- Now you're ready to sign, seal, and deliver a homemade, one-of-a-kind greeting card with "you"
written all over it!
