Kayte Terry, contributor for Craft Sylish made this fun and funky mosaiced frame out of old gift cards.   I love this one, I think it is so fun to try and guess where the cards came from?

There is actually a product called the Pick Punch that you can use to stamp out those gift cards and make guitar picks out of them!   If you have a lot of guitar enthusiasts in your family this would be so fun to have!   And for $24.95 that is a pretty good price, I am thinking Valentine’s Day gift!   Plus you could also drill a hole in them and make a guitar pick bracelet or necklace.yhst-56194736215675_2136_452344

  5. we were just talking about this last night at work! Someone said their neighbor puts magnetic tape on the back to make fridge magnets. I usually give them to my girls to play with in their purses and cash register.

  6. I am going to have to get my hubby that guitar puncher thingie! Between him and now my three year old, we go through TONS of picks!

  7. i like to use them as craft supplies like modgepodging, painting, etc. can also be handy as a small ruler if you mark on them. and for scraping paint for screenprinting small projects. and we've all seen those little hearts strung verticlly usually made of paper, these would be more durable and last longer. just use a heart shaped punch and small hole punch or drill and connect top to bottom with either jump rings or knots using bakers twine…oh the possibilities!
