3 Christmas Card Decoration Ideas

Every year through the mail we receive order forms with selections to order Christmas cards from NRA and Ducks Unlimited. Though some of all sales from the Christmas cards help fund their yearly events, the cards are quite pleasant. They make the Christmas cards from recycled paper and made into heavy card stock.

With each of these yearly sales events for Christmas cards, I find it a shame to throw the sample cards away. So, I decided to put theses sample Christmas cards to use in my home for Christmas and winter decorations.

The following are some tips for using sample Christmas card samples or even for the Christmas cards you receive from friends and families. The sample Christmas cards from NRA and Ducks Unlimited are 5"x7" with what the sayings for inside the Christmas cards on the back.

Idea One: Framed Christmas Card Decorations.

The Christmas cards samples arrive as postcard samples rather than the actual folding card. With these types of sample Christmas Cards, I have framed them to use as a way to add color and Christmas decorations to any room in my home. You can arrange the framed Christmas cards in any many to decorate a wall in any room in the home.

Idea Two: Laminated Christmas Silverware or Drink Table Decoration

Laminating the sample Christmas cards can add to any table setting for the Christmas holiday and throughout winter. To cover the printed backs of the sample postcard-style samples, cut a piece or two of tissue paper to the size of the cards and sandwich it between the Christmas card sample and the laminating or clear contact paper.

The laminated Christmas cards can be used underneath silverware or as a coaster for drinks at the dinner table. Also, by adding names to the laminated Christmas cards, they can be used as place cards for guest seating arrangements at your special Christmas meals.

Idea Three: Christmas Window Decorations, Table Runners, and Garland
