If your family enjoy puzzles, recycled Christmas cards can be made into great puzzles! What you need to do is get together several Christmas cards that feature similar pictures or similar themes. Basically you want to choose cards that have a very similar look and feel to make your puzzles difficult.

You can cut up these cards into long strips just as they are or use craft sticks as a base. If you are going the latter route you can lay out a number of craft sticks and stick your card on top. Cut them up along the lines of the craft sticks and mix up all the sticks together. These make fun exciting puzzles that your family will enjoy putting together. You can put these puzzles in a little tin as a gift too!

5) Christmas Stacking Cards

Cut up all the Christmas cards so that they are uniformly of the same size and shape. Use them as stacking cards to build all kinds of structures like houses or skyscrapers. Alternatively you can stick them on the back of playing cards to make your very own Christmas playing cards set.

These are just a few ways you can use recycled Christmas cards. These cards are so versatile that you can basically make them into anything you want, such as ornaments, coaster, place mats etc. All you need is a little imagination.
