I would like to teach a craft for the old christmas cards, but I can't think of any that would be fun for ages 8 to 16. I have all shapes and sizes. thanks

we send ours to missionaries you could make book marks out of them by putting contact paper over them punch a hole in the top add some ribbon through the hole you may have to cut the cards first make them and give them to nursing homes in your area

Buy a solid colored, hard covered photo album or scrapbook at a local craft store. Cut out the pictures from the christmas cards and make a collage out of them for the cover of the book. Christmas stickers and rub ons should be relatively inexpensive right now, and they would add a unique touch to each individual album. Use a decoupage such as Mod Podge to put a seal over the images so they don't get damaged or fall off. The decoupage adds a gloss and when several coats are added with a large paintbrush, the finish will be smooth and professional looking. Help the kids scrap pages from the holidays in their new books. Good luck!

There are tons of things to do!
-If there is no writing on the inside front, cut it off and have the kids use it as a postcard for thank you notes.
-Make tags for next years gifts.
-Make ornaments.
The best thing I found to do with them came from here ... Yahoo Answers:

You can take your Christmas cards and matte, and frame them for wall hangings!! If you have a few that are like a matching set, do all of them and they look really nice on the wall!! Everyone who has seen mine, were very surprised that those beautiful pictures I have hanging for Christmas were actually Christmas cards at one time!!!

I think you need a lobotomy for asking this. This is absolutely disgusting. Maybe your daughter is really aggressive and acts out because you seriously are considering performing brain surgery on her for being a typical 17 year old girl. Its a phase she`ll get over it. I`m actually fuming reading this. Some people should not be aloud to reproduce. I feel so bad for your daughter.

Decoupage. You can use a whole bunch of cards or other random paper scraps and use hodge podge to paste them on things like picture frames, boxes, or even mail boxes! It's so fun and easy. I go to an art studio sometimes to decoupage different things. They make great gifts or just decorations.

well you could cut out parts of each card, and glue them to a new cardstock piece that you fold in half to make a new xmas card collagey thing
