I was just thinking.. I have probably 10-15 decks worth of old cards. Some in perfect condition, some covered in crappy fanning powder that didn't work out especially well. And since I throw cards as well, I go through a standard pack of Bikes in a day and have tons of let over cards. I was wondering if there's something cool I can do with them? Something more useful than just having them site in a box..
-
make a card box or a card wallet
-
Buy Skallops on Kickstarter and build something!
Create a collage and hang it on your wall.
Use them as note paper - good size, fits in a pocket, even comes with a box.
Get creative, man! :))
-
Freeze them! :P
Theres a ton of things you could do with cards... build a house/castle!
-
I'm pretty artistic, so is my sister. I think I'll build something insane.... mwuahaha. I'll post once i finish. Don't know what yet!
-
play games with them??

I'll definitely buy some skallops!
-
I ussually make card boxes out of them and throw them around.
-
Keep them.
In the next 1000+ years your decks would be very rare.
Hahaha, just kidding.
Use your cards in some magic effect that you need to torn it.
I used up a full deck as well. But still a lot to go.
-
i really want to pledge for the $45 skallops but the total is 55 too ex

If your insane creation is anywhere near as good as your concepts for card design, then I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we're looking forward to seeing them! Build away!

I'm about to put on some dubstep, grab a roll of tape, and go to town haha. By the end of the night I'll have something cool!
-
Can't wait to see what you come up with. Maybe it will inspire me to do some card art of my own ;)
-
I had no idea what I was going to do, but as I went, this is what I created. I'm going to hang it from my ceiling :D

Looks awesome! Glad to see that you made something with the cards :o
-
Did you use any adhesive?
Or that's a real card stacking?
-
As I look at that, I'm thinking "table centerpiece" and "wouldn't that make a cool ceiling lamp shade?" If you used a compact fluorescent bulb (or several LEDs) with a low-enough wattage, this would make a pretty interesting place to hang some lights.

I used tape to stick it together, no way I could manage all that stacking haha.
-
Thats pretty sweet!! I would use it as a land shade for sure!!!

That's a sweet idea! I may have to look further into doing just that :D
-
those decks dont at old to me at all. they look pretty usable for torn and restored effects
-
That looks awesome! I want one on my ceiling too! ;D
One cool idea I saw once was making a dice out of them. Ace, two, three, four, five, six. ;)
Though it works best with Bikes Pro because of the face layout.
-
Maybe you Could make a Cardistree tree? curve the cards for the trunk and twist them tighter for branches?

That sounds like a great idea! Sounds pretty hard, but it would be worth it.
Also, I like what you've already done! Using it as a lampshade would be awesome.

I somewhat took what you did andexpanded on it making a big start out of cards it looks pretty cool.
