Credit Card Creativity

Making Sweet Music and Guitar Picks With Old Plastic

Plenty of people know the routine of cutting up a credit card. Whether it be because you maxed it out or you’re just not using it anymore, we cut it up and throw it away. However, a clever group of people think you should make beautiful music with your debt.

Credit card guitar picks are making their way into hands of musicians who lose picks regularly (it’s hard not to, they’re so small!) and don’t want to keep spending money on replacing them. A few different site have come out with DIY instructions on how to make the perfect credit card guitar pick, and one is even selling a hole punch-esque pick maker. Take a look at these fun eco guitar picks.
