Plastic Card Reuses

I have a certain company that just loves sending me these plastic credit card sized things for free. I've been collecting then for a while, and decided to stay using them for other purposes.

Plant Seedling Marker

I'd cut a fatter than normal strip, and notate the seedling to be planted. Cutting on a sharp angle will maintain it's height, and penetrate the cardboard well. I did use a tool to poke a hole into the planet, and push the market into the planet till tight.

Mark a strip of plastic, and then only go halfway. That way, you have another full piece on the other side. Notate the key's use, and a spot where a hole will be punched. Punch and attach.

Shirt Collar Stiffener

I always lose these for weeks, so a few back-ups are nice. Trace out one of the existing stiffeners, and cut out leaving the marker line so it is the same size as the older one.

Simple and Functional

This were just a few uses of the free material sent to me. I'm sure I'll figure out a few more uses as time and need goes on. Please share withideas on how you have repurposed these little plastic cards.
