Top 10 Creative Uses for Business Cards

This past week I asked the Fans/Likes on my Facebook page what creative uses they had for their business cards besides what they’re meant for. And being wonderful, creative, and always up for a worthwhile distraction, they obliged. Here are the top 10 ideas they came up with:

  1. Put them in luggage tags instead of writing the same ol’ boring name and address
  2. Use them as a bookmark
  3. Write on the back for quick notes when you don’t have any scratch paper
  4. Use them as name labels for books
  5. Clean out the keyboard — “really gets those mini-dust bunnies and some other stuff that I try not to analyze too much!”
  6. Use them to clean tiny crevices around the house (like the space next to the oven, around the bathroom sink, in between tiles…you get the idea)
  7. Use as labels on those black file cabinets. Just cut a little off the edge, write what you want on the back with a marker and slip it into the label holder.
  8. Build a card castle
  9. Make cubes (this is COOL!)
  10. Clean between your teeth instead of dental floss (GROSS!)


Do you have any more suggestions to add to the list? Let us know in the comments.
