The first craft I want to showcase is my handmade paper chain garland featuring a children’s vintage Christmas book. I love to go thrifting, and I adore vintage children’s books. When I spotted this adorable Christmas book that was tattered, I knew a paper chain garland would be the perfect way to honor it!
Some of you mentioned that this would also be a great way to use old Christmas cards! I hope this craft inspires you to use something old to create something beautiful!
