Those sparkly flowers would make a lovely Christmas garland with some wee fairy light winding through them! 🤗🌲

[@pingu441]

I love all of them, good ideas to recycle old business cards and remember "make things"

[@cakeykhans]

I love how your DIYs have grown over the years! I loved the banner one!

[@karenkavett]

Thank you!

[@zoepym9269]

Sprinkle of glitter bought me here! Great video!

[@duhaa.9188]

I was clearing out an old purse, and the amount of buisness cards in there was crazy! This helps alot! I love how you're so creative! 🥰💜

[@lakshmyvenkateshwaran281]

You are a gachatuber

[@melschroeds]

These are all so adorable! I especially liked the banner. The flower was pretty simple but pretty as well!

[@terralynn9]

Those are all great ideas. I especially like the flowers.

[@amarjak3543]

Loved the flower idea for decorating my son's room and Christmas

[@LPfinale]

Loved the banner idea! Easily transferable for any occasion- nicely done.

[@VixeyTeh]

If you are super patient and really like cosplay, you can glue them in a staggered layer over each other to form long pieces of card, then sculpt it into a sword. Some other cosplayers and crafters have tutorials on "paper swords" which will show you step by step. You can also mash them up in water and glue and make recycled card/paper. OR paper mache.

[@Damadeemo]

That was great! Loved all of the ideas! Super creative!

[@sophieadams3543]

I love the flowers! The color scheme of the banner was gorgeous!!!

I love all of them! I think the banner has to be my favorite, I might just steal "Make Things" for mine too

[@renatamolina689]

The third idea is my favorite one! I love the fun colors you used. You could also make tiny boxes for random things decorating them like in the third idea

[@IlmonocolodiOphelia]

The banner is my favourite! Incredible result!!! :)

[@mariabounnit]

Thank you so much ! Your tips are really helpful !!

[@ChantelLynn95]

I love the banner and the flowers. I think I might make a banner with all my leftover business cards.

[@4dianasaur]

Hey Karen! I wanted to tell you that I wore my DFTBA necklace you designed for the first time today, and I was in the store lush, and one of the workers came up to me and said "Hey! Don't forget to be awesome!" and it was wonderful. We got to talking all about the vlogbrothers and youtube in general. Thank you!

[@karenkavett]

That's awesome!

[@sparklewink]

[@shitaldeshpande3881]

Hi i like your idea of flowers please tell details which paper you stick to the cards

[@MsHajiLove]

It's first time i see this channel and i loved it! :D you're freakishly awsome :D while i was watching i got the urge to do it, everything you make. But all i have a pair of scissors as tool soo.. i can just enjoy the rest of the videos or push my imagination so it's great anyways. You are inspiring people to get their ass on :)

[@kosurubhavishyakvschoolins5902]

Very nice

[@wiirdee]

omg i was looking for a diy shredder and you gave me the answer with those scissors!!!!!

[@karenkavett]

They're so useful! It was kind of an impulse purchase for me, but I love them.

[@wiirdee]

xD i know i'm not paying $80 dollars for a shredder! you even have to buy shredder oil ._.

[@lisajean9876]

Great ideas! Where did you get the letters from?

[@amomschoice]

You could cover the flowers with duck tape also. Now a reason to grab business cards or not throw them out. A memory board game for kids would be cute.

[@karenkavett]

Good idea, you could make flowers of all different colors and patterns with duct tape.

[@edgehaedjr]

I have a box full of business cards from my time in student government. Guess I'm making banners now, ahaha. Thanks for the ideas. :)

[@SpellboundSama]

I needed this video!! I had to make business cards in a digital media class I took two years ago, but couldn't use them for KZbiny things like handing them out at VidCon because my professor made me put my phone number on it. Such a waste of 150 cards!! The banner is my favorite :D

[@karenkavett]

That sounds like a really pushy professor. I never put my phone number on anything anymore. Unexpected phone calls are so annoying.

[@irocurseoxoff]

The banner is my favorite, i might use it to make a birthday banner.

[@yael9455]

Banner! Definitely want to make my own with my own motto!

[@karenkavett]

Do it! And send me a photo when you're done!

[@sarahaktim2444]

The flowers! And subscribing

[@GoAlybongo]

Karen, I want to live to you. Living with you would be the best!

[@GiggleBuddy421]

Wooooooooah, that's so awesome :D

[@ItsPaigeBurgess]

where did you get your letters from? they're perfect for my laptop sleeve!xx

[@dazai_simp00]

I like the banner one it's cute 😍 ☺

[@navneetkamble]

NICE...

[@ithihasakadhamanjari]

Wht is the name of tht colored tapes.. Two of them.. Pls tell.. Nice 📹 video.. 👏👏👏

[@notinformat]

You are so cute, positive and kindly! Thank YOU for videos. They are inspare me. )) And make me believe in better )

[@misstinkerbell20213]

Very Creative.... I liked ALL of them. Knowing me, I would've just thrown them away without hesitation.

[@kayleecrowell3350]

THIS WAS MADE ON MY BDAY! :D

[@homelessxcat]

I really like the banner.

[@cslane66]

I like the banner idea

[@gayathrisrinivasan8445]

Wow

[@Dayla1960]

I liked the banner best, thx

[@jms2591]

Karen, I agree. Put them behind your glasses. Or make cubes. Then, spray paint the cubes black and put them in random places for Doctor Who/Brotherhood 2.0 mashup.

[@janethp9728]

what did you do with the rest?

[@BohistaNordica]

I think you should always save one of the cards - maybe put it in a collage frame. In 20 years, you will probably have a very interesting memory frame of all your "titles"! I have all my business cards framed, photos of every car I've owned, and numerous shadow boxes of misc. tokens so they are on display........not stored away in a box. :)

[@karenkavett]

Of course I'll save a couple of them. But I don't need to keep all 700 that are left over after this video.
