Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with leftover business cards?  I have approximately 497 from last job, 482 from the one before that, 476 from the one before that, and 997 from my old TT job.  I suppose they're recyclable, but the artist in me keeps insisting that there must be something more creative to do with them.

Build a house of cards?
Glue them into stacks of ten, and then you can build something more substantial with the business-card bricks.

Or, tile a wall with them, then paint the wall Jackson Pollock style.

No need for glue, apparently: http://theiff.org/oexhibits/paper06.html




That is absolutely amazing, verbena!  Mathematicians rock!

I cut them into strips for when I need new little bits of paper for hanging file labels. 

That should use up at least a half dozen a year. 

Oh! That's a great idea!

Prephd, in all that black, you are like the anti-pink-me.

Yes, not at all bad.  Just about the right width for the 1/3 cut tabs.

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

I have a metal card case with this image in enamel on the front. I'm a Polynesia specialist so it's appropriate in a whimsical way. It was a big hit at the Oceania conference in February.

This was such a random find! Just today I was thinking I needed one of these and now you have posted a link to the perfect site. Thank you very much! I'm thinking of going for the mod line.

Bookmarks.  Leave them in it.  When someone borrows a book, they can see where they got it.
