Have an old incomplete deck and don't know what to do with what is left of it ? Why not use it in a creative way to make something different ? Like this: e-bay link removed by moderator It looks quite beautifully made. Anyone invited to a masked ball ? Look no further.

It was something I saw on Ebay and I can't post a link to Ebay items...what I saw was a Venetian mask with a "headdress" all of tarot cards, the face also has parts of tarot cards on it. Quite elaborate, anyway if you do a search on ebay you will find it.

That sounds marvelous. I love making things! I need a new bag using old cards. I'd love to see a deck with each card laminated, punch holes in the sides of them, crochet them together, or bind them somehow, shove a lining in it and have a big bag to carry around. A bit retro! or A beautiful round mirror with the edges covered like a huge collage, mixed with beads and coloured glass - lots of gold and siver plaited wire and little gold and silver coins. or laqueur then and paste them on a box to keep the rest of your tarot cards in. or They'd look great under a piece of glass on a cofee table with some photos mixed in with them or cartoons. Have them laminated and use them for notebook covers. Make a shower curtain I'd love to use a deck to make a huge calligraphy poster with all the different meanings in different writing all over it *rumages through Titanic craft box* help...Im out of control ... what else ... there must be a million things you could do with them. Theres just a few .. anymore! Elven

78 bookmarks, no creative manipulation needed. Or , take a plain light switch cover and decoupage a card on with a cutout in the middle for the switch.
