You don’t have a lot of regular opportunities to hand them out, and you end up needing to update them before you’ve used them all. Of course, you can just recycle them, but first, consider these 15 creative ways to use those old business cards:

  1. Use them as bookmarks
  2. Leave short notes for family members
  3. Create new ones
  4. Use them for crafts
  5. Build a card castle
  6. Fold them in half and use as a money clip
  7. Use them to level a wobbly desk
  8. Shred them to make confetti
  9. Wallpaper your office (maybe a stretch, but still…)
  10. Make cubes (this is COOL!)
  11. Use them as name labels for books
  12. Tape them together to make a drawer liner
  13. Use them to clean tiny cervices (like the space next to the oven, in between the keys of your keyboard, around the bathroom sink, in between tiles…you get the idea)
  14. Use them to get organized
  15. Give some to the kids (trust me, this provides at least 20 minutes of entertainment and gets rid of about 30 cards at a time…more if you have a kid that eats paper.)

What do you do with your old business cards?
