Cards in the Mail

Around the holidays, we usually get beautiful cards in the mail from various religious groups asking for 
donations, a few of which we support. I've created a fun way to use the cards we don't need. 


Instructions:
1. Make oval template from poster board, use to trace and cut figures from cards.
2. Cut a thin strip of metallic tissue paper (about 1/2" wide and 18" long) for each card oval.
3. Fold the strips of tissue to form accordian pleats.
4. Apply glue to edge of each oval card and press pleated tissue onto it.
5. Go to http://www.estherlocascio.com to learn how to make a Giftigami Box.
6. Glue decorated oval card to lid of box.
