We just have to paste these cards with the gift paper that we keep. In this way we can find a beautiful centerpiece for a side table in a dining room or at the entrance of the house.

Another option that we particularly like is to use old magazines. Decorating with letters has never been so easy and beautiful. Cut the leaves and make a variety of ornaments, which can be pretty stars, hearts, or even slightly more complex shapes, like reindeer. If you want these decorations to be a little more rigid, you can use a cardboard base and cover it with magazine paper.
