A little piece of tape would secure it on the package. I would save this project for a "snow day" from school as it was a wonderful way to use the cards and keep them busy to boot!<br /><br />I, too, have one of Grandma's "card" baskets and love to use it during the holidays.

How wonderful that you have them and they have withstood the test of time. :) A friend's grandmother was a fabulous quilter and crocheter but sadly she lost her sight in her final years, too. Must have been very hard for them.
