You receive them once and then store them away or throw them out &#8211; money in the wind. So instead of throwing them out, I made them into cross-stitch bobbins. Bobbins wear out &#8211; the more you handle them the quicker they break (usually the corners bend and eventually break off). Then you are left with options &#8211; buy them (quite expensive) or make them yourself \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I sorted the cards; the ones that were too thin, and the ones with glitter (rub off and damage the thread) went into bin. I also cut around the well-wishing on the cards so that ink wouldn&#8217;t stain the threads. The rest got processed into bobbins in a couple hours and completely for free. I hope some of you find this useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did some rearranging in my craft cupboard today and found some Christmas cards that I had put there a month ago.
