FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOVEMBER 12, 2004 - WASHINGTON, DC -
Did you keep all of the cards you received last year because you didn't have the heart to throw them away? Good!
Use the front page of last year's received greeting cards to make gift tags. Cut them into rectangles, circles, and hearts, or cut out one
of the motifs and glue it to a piece of poster board if it needs more support. If they have writing on the back, cut up the cards and save
the parts with blank spots for gift tags. Use a hole punch to make a hole for a ribbon (you kept scraps of ribbon from your gifts, too, right?).
Gift tags made from the same greeting card
This tip -- and 17 more -- are now posted on Eco-Artware.com's web
