Fun things to do with old business cards

I now have quite a collection of old business cards from former employers, and I’ve been thinking about what to do with them. Sure, I could trash them (after I save a couple), but that’s just a waste.
So….
I’m putting together a list of things to do with them.
So far, I have:
bookmarks
note cards
replacement shingles for the roof (temporary at best though)
My wife even suggested making a dress out of them (but I don’t think I could pull that off ).
Anyone else?

Try building a big card house with glue. I bet it will make a great conversation piece.

firewood! (well firebusinesscards, but it would still work well as kindling)

if you don’t have any paper, then you can use crappy bussiness card cardboard as a substitute for something you would have done with paper. But only for things you really need. Really really need.

I have several of my ex-wife’s business cards. If you need one to drop at a bank robbery you are trying to pull off, let me know.

I can’t believe that you are all this dumb, I mean how stupid is this page? You should stop…

And yet it’s interesting enough to draw your attention to it and even have you post a comment to it.
Interesting, don’t you think?
Thanks for stopping by.

You can create cubes out of old business cards and connect them together to make shapes. I had lots of old business cards to get rid of so this was a fun way of using them. You can view pictures on my blog post: http://www.zeta.net/blog/2008/11/2400-business-cards-no-glue-and-a-lunchtime-or-two/

Hey, Why don’t you send them to someone like me, who collects them for a hobby. I will gladly receive them. Thanks for the HELP.
