1. Organization: They are perfect or labeling boxes, folders or jotting down notes to slip in your pocket.
2. Bookmarks: Punch a hole along a short side, slip a ribbon through the hole and you have a home made bookmark (ribbon is optional of course)
3. Gift cards: Embellish the side that has contact info. Use stickers, scrapbook paper etc. Flip and write your greeting on blank side.
4. Cleaning key boards and hard to reach cracks: They are perfect for reaching in between keyboard keys or cleaning cracks and hard to reach crevices in your car.
5. Photos: Use them to jot down memories or wishes for events or people featured in your photos. Tape the messages to the back of the photo and frame.
