How to Make Placemats Using Christmas Cards

DIY· Holidays· House & Home

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.

I love to find crafts you can make that you can actually use!  I made these Christmas Card Placemats a few years back and they are still holding up well!!  I love the beauty of Christmas cards and hate throwing them away once Christmas is over!  This is a wonderful way to use the covers to make something beautiful!  These would make great gifts and would be great things to make with your children.

how to make placemats using Christmas Cards

Buy cheap poster board like the kind for school projects for .50. It took 3 for 6.

Cut the covers off of your favorite cards, or even the inside or backside if that is your favorite part

Cut the board 12×17 and glue your favorite cards on or tape or whatever adhesive you like.

Then cover with contact paper.

The contact paper can be difficult so it is best to have someone that can help hold it while you are making sure it doesn’t get crinkled up. If you have a laminator big enough that would be best but I didn’t. I made one for each family member and 1 guest. Here is the finished product.

Mine has the vintage look (the one that says mom)

I did try to personalize it a little bit with names and things they love. My youngest LOVES animals so I put a lot of animals on hers.

I made these a few years ago and they have held up great and because of the contact paper, they are so easy to wipe off! Hope you enjoy, feel free to pin it if you like it!

To make this you need:

Contact Paper

Old Christmas Cards

Cheap Poster Board

Glue or Tape

 

I love these Christmas Placemats using recycled Christmas Cards.  This is an easy DIY Christmas craft that makes a great DIY Christmas Gift. #diy #diychristmasgift #diychristmasdecor #placemats #christmascards
