Where Can I (Wednesday): 11 Innovative Ideas to Reuse Old Business Cards

Our reader Heidi asked on our Facebook page: GPB ladies! I recently had to order new busines cards and am so sad to waste the old ones. Creative ideas for using up otherwise useless business cards?

We did a little research, Heidi, and came up with a 11 innovative ideas to recycle your old stack of business cards:

1. Use them for public speaking & cue cards
2. Bookmarks
3. DIY – Paint them completely and make ‘new’ business cardson the back side (or make them for a friend/sell on Etsy)
4. Takes notes for flash cards/studying
5. Gift the gifts: Christmas “To/From” Cards
6. Make a business card (or small) box
7. Place them as photo holders in scrapbooks
8. Use them for name/place cards (ie at a wedding) – you can put something on the ‘printed’ side as a disguise
9. Labels while canning, on spices, in your library, etc
10. Get creative for an Arts & Craft project. Try having kids (or hipsters) paint each card different colors and make a piece of art
11. Use them for “Post Its” or to leave notes in the house
