Boy -- it you're on a budget, this is the craft for you!  Here's a link to a mosaic project using cut up expired credit cards, gift cards, etc.  If local stores would agree to give you the gift cards they throw away when people use them up, it'd be free!

We are doing the mosaic craft you found this week. (We do a Journey to Jerusalem for our Lenten Children's Church) Anyway, I found it very difficult to convince people to give me their unwanted credit cards. What worked very well was asking for their used gift cards. Also, if you talk to coffee shops or other retailers in your area some of them are willing to collect used cards for you for a few days. There was also a retailer that carries a number of cards for area resturaunts and businesses that donated bags full. Evidently these cards get changed out, companies go out of business or the cards expire and then they just end up in the garbage. We are creating some very colorful samples. Thanks for the idea!
