If you have old Christmas cards lying around-or find a bargain on Christmas cards at a thrift store- use them to decorate everything from Christmas trees to photo albums. Here we've embellished the edges of old cards with colorful metallic thread in a basic crochet stitch.

Materials needed: 

  • Christmas cards
  • hole punch
  • Kreinik metallic thread in Tapestry #12 Braid, in your choice of colors
  • crochet hook to coordinate with your hole size and braid size

Instructions: 

1. Cut card to desired shape or size.

2. Punch holes in outer edge of design area.

3. Using your favorite crochet stitch, crochet a border using the Tapestry #12 Braid.

4. When finished, glue onto a photo album, or use as an ornament.

Tip: use a different Kreinik Braid size to achieve a different look. The Fine #8 Braid, for example, is a thin thread and will create a "lacy" look. Medium #16 Braid is thicker, and may be easier to use for beginners or with larger crochet hooks.
