Simple letters cut out of empty boxes make fantastic decorations for special days or any day. String them to make word banners for every occasion. Decorated, plain, or with the factory colors showing, they look great. A fun way to learn letters and try your hand at spelling, too!

Make colorful words with these 3-D letters you make out of empty boxes, using just scissors and tape. Spell out a name, a holiday, a word-of-the-day… or make a random handful to enjoy as art. You need a few of these.

Greeting Card Banners are crafting heroes. Not only do they look great hanging up, but they make a great activity to do with kids AND give you a guilt-free way to clear out old cards. So go get the scissors, some string, and that stack of cards you’ve been avoiding, and let the decluttering begin!
