Gifts for women in their 20s While you are waiting for your stain or paint to dry you can start cutting your old Christmas cards into something useful. For this project, I was given the opportunity to use beautiful holiday cards from Shutterfly. They have gorgeous designs, high quality paper and flawless photos– almost too pretty to use up.
These upcycled Christmas Topiaries are made by cutting old cards and paper into circles with scalloped edges in varying sizes. Because I am using just three card designs, I wanted to fill out my tree using scrap paper to give extra color. I found Gifts for women in their 20s paper in a large pad for a very reasonable $6 in non-traditional colors that matched the bright hue of my cards. I then interwove a variety of scrapbook paper in between the scalloped cards to give a bright and cheery design.
You can choose to download a free scalloped edge circle template (just do a quick Google!) and cut each by hand, or you can have a cutting machine do it for you. I personally chose to have the machine cut all the scrapbook paper for me to make the process a little quicker.
You can also just cut regular circles, or circles using scissors with fun edges. The best part about this craft is that the pieces do not need to be perfect––the more whimsical the better!
