Instructions:
1. Use cans, saucers, or bowls to create different sized circle templates. Place these templates over the Christmas cards and trace around them. Cut out the circle.
2. Trace another larger circle onto a piece of sturdy cardboard and cut out using decorative edged scissors.
3. Glue the card now in the middle of the larger circle.
4. Apply glue around the outside edge of the circle and highlight some of the card details as well.
5. Shake glitter over the still wet glue and tap off excess glitter. Let dry.
6. Punch 2 holes in the top of the ornament and pull a ribbon through for hanging.
