Lacing Cards

 

Materials

  • ~ Used Greeting Cards
  • ~ Yarn
  • ~ Tape
  • ~ Hole Punch
  • ~ Scissors
  • ~ Paper Clip
  • ~ Poster Board (optional)


Instructions

  • ~ Make lacing cards from Christmas cards or other greeting cards. Back them with poster board if not stiff enough.
  • ~ Use a hole-punch to punch holes around the outside edge of the card or around a design.
  • ~ Attach a piece of yarn to the card. Wrap tape around the loose end to make the yarn still so it pokes easily into the holes. Older children like sewing with a "needle." Straighten out the long loop of the paper clip. Tie the "needle" on the loose end of the yarn by putting yarn through short loop and pinching it tightly closed.
