Crafty advent Calendar

I made these a few weeks back - when I started to unpack my Christmas stuff I came across old Christmas cards given to us. All those pretty little cards.... I thought to myself - I can't throw these out! Why not reinvent these so they have a different purpose? I took one look at my rather drab bowl of pinecones and thought they need a little sprucin' up -or pinen' up.... with this little Card Christmas balls.

Here are some of those pretty little cards.
Then I used a baby food lid to trace and cut the circles out.
Next I folded up the edges on them and glued the folded edges together.
And Voila!!! A cheery and festive addition to the "Deck the halls" of my home!!
