You can now recycle those beautiful hard to throw away greeting cards in a variety of ways. For this project we show you how to create a unique and eye catching gift tag that would normally cost a few dollars if purchased in most stores. By simply recycling a greeting card, you'll be doing your part towards recycling and have a custom designed gift tag of your own.

Begin by using craft scissors to cut out the front section of the greeting card. Next, using a hole puncher, punch out a hole, 1/2 inch from the top of what will soon be your custom gift tag. Now, thread a pretty ribbon or decorative string through the hole creating a bow. Try using a multi-colored ribbon that will coordinate with the colors of your gift wrapped package. That's all there is to creating a simple and quick one of a kind gift tag (see below for photos).
