It’s a special time of year and special memories are made from Christmas cards.\u00a0 Keeping and treasuring your cards is simple with this step by step method of binding your Christmas cards together.\u00a0 Here’s how to organize Christmas cards with this simple 6 step craft.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"organize<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1 – Sort cards by year.\u00a0 Also decide if there any cards that you do not want to save and recycle them.\u00a0 Eliminate without guilt those that are not special to you.
\nStep 2 – Sort each year by size, from largest on the bottom of the stack to the smallest at the top of the stack.
\nStep 3 – Use a good, strong hole puncher to punch a hole in the top left of each card. Your hand will hurt if the hole puncher is not very good!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"organize<\/a>
\nStep 4 – Use a binder ring to keep all cards together.
\nStep 5 – Create a little card that denotes the year to place at the front.<\/p>\n

Step 6 – Tie holiday ribbon around the ring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"organize<\/a>
\nStep 7 – Place cards in a pretty basket under your tree, near the fireplace, or another spot that is easy accessible!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a><\/p>\n

Another fun Christmas card tip – If you have a smart phone, go through your current year’s cards and take a quick picture of the photo cards. Now you can save these as your friends’ and family’s contact photos.\u00a0 These will pop up each time you speak by phone!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are some ways you have organized and preserved your Christmas cards?<\/p>\n
