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.
