?? Playing cards ??

DH had taken up poker so now we have 'used' decks of playing cards. I would love to craft something with them... any ideas?

Could you decoupage something w/them? A small table to be used as a game table...or a plain wooden serving tray? Picture frames? 2 whole punch the cards and bind w/metal rings to make a small book (saw that idea here)......

How about this one:
Purse

I love the purse one. That is cute and seems easy enough. LOL, I so hate to ask DH for duck tape. Tee hee... I always give him such a HARD time over using duck tape!

Ha Ha... did I say it seems easy enough? I made pen holders instead. The tap touched sticky sides and it was all over for me. I think wider duct tape than what DH had would work better.... less strips to put together.

LOL I know what you mean about the duct tape! Too funny...I can see myself having the same problem and shifting to a new project.

How did you make pen holders w/them?

How about a wallet to go in that purse?

Or a tower?

Or a tray to serve drinks on?

I made the pen holder and DH actually requested a 'better hand!" LOL I just used four cards then cut the bottom card to fit. It was easy enough I guess.

I want to attempt the purse again but I need wider tape.
