Make a Christmas Card Village

Reader Theo-Ann from Outside the Box sent me this great idea for making recycled Christmas card houses (inspired by an idea by Danny Seo) - so cute, right? I really can't think of a better way to display/repurpose Christmas cards. This is THE idea you've been looking for! [tutorial for creating a greeting card village]

Project Estimate:

3 greeting cards per house, on hand
Battery-operated tea lights, 2 for $1
Tissue paper (optional), on hand
Tape & scissors, on hand

Total: $.50 per house (unless you prefer unlit houses, and then this is FREE!)
