Fantastic!!! Can’t tell you the number of flashcard sets that have lost so many cards because I’ve continued to try to contain them in their original boxes or with rubberbands! Awesome idea! Many thanks!

Blessings!

You can also use the crafter’s tool, the Crop-o-dile, to punch through a small stack at one time - and there is a little guard to keep all the holes at the same depth so that your cards will all be even in the rings.

Another thing is punching one hole at the top of each, and using alpha flashcards in a 3-ring binder. You stack the whole alphabet on each ring and put 3 stacks next to each other and you have your own make-a-word flip book. It’s fun to see the goofy “fake” words as well as coming up with all the real ones.

Thanks for the great idea. I am forever picking up flashcards off the floor and hate that they lose one or two or more and then we don’t have a complete set. I am running upstairs right now and punching a hole in them and connecting them with a ring. Simple idea but never thought of it.

Thanks again!!

[...] and Takes is a fantastic craft and kids blog. Her recent idea on flash card rings is sheer genius and I wish I had thought of it first. Not to mention that she has a guest post on [...]

That is such a great idea. I never would have thought to do that on my own. Thanks for all your great ideas!!!

I’ve seen this done before and thought it was a good idea. But for some reason seeing it on your blog for the second time it hit me “Hey, I could do this with the flash cards in my classroom!” (duh!) So thanks for posting this…I will be doing this with all the flash cards in my classroom before the new school year starts. Those darn boxes never last and are a pain for kids to put away. I’m sure I’ll use this one day with my own kids too:)
