Cardboard Postage Stamp Ornaments

"I seem to be swimming under a cardboard mountain at the moment. We are getting so many online deliveries it is embarrassing. I do recycle the cardboard boxes but I also keep some back for crafting. I used some to make these wonderful 3D cardboard ornaments. I used my Christmas cookie cutters as templates for the shape (but you can also get them from my site). I also used old postage stamps to give them color and make the ornaments unique. This is a fun craft the kids can enjoy too."
