These are the cards that I have, don't throw out cards that are missing some instead use them for a dollhouse.
If you notice in this picture I cut off the white around the cards, then I cut off the strip pieces on the cards. At this point you can use them for a tiled floor, you can also have a border with the pieces that were cut off as strips. On the bottom you can see how the card was cut another way to make a fake mirror for a dollhouse. You can also use the cards for rugs and a decorative piece for a dollhouse ceiling.
To make a fake mirror you need to cut a piece of cardboard from any box of cereal etc. it needs to be the same size as the frame.
You will use foil for the mirror.
Glue the foil to the cardboard, then glue the frame on top.
You could stop at this point and hang it on the wall or you can take another piece of cardboard and glue the whole mirror piece to it.
Add popsiclesticks around the frame, then cut of the extra.
I painted the frame gold.
I added pieces off a snowflake for the corners. Now it's ready to hang. There are so many different styles of cards that can be framed and also used for other projects. Just because some are missing in the pack doesn't mean there no good, use you imagination!
