Guitar chips!

I have played the guitar for a few years now. The one problem with the guitar is that I am constantly losing my guitar chips, or picks. Then I saw in a 'thinkgeek' catalog a press that you can use to make old credit cards into guitar chips. Because I 1, didn't have the press and 2, didn't have any old credit cards, I forgot about it. But then today I realized I could make them! And so, it goes like this:

Step one:
Find any old 'credit cards', okay I used an old YMCA membership card, and hotel room keys. Any kind of card like this will work.
After you have found an old card of some sort, you'll need a real guitar chip, scissors, and a marker or pen.

Step two: Flip your card over (If you prefer one side to the other, otherwise it doesn't matter) once you have the 'ugly' side up, put your real guitar chip on top of the card, and trace the chip. Sharpie pens work the best.

Step Three: Remove the real guitar chip and cut out the outline you just drew.

This is probably the hardest part, and it isn't even that hard. Depending on the thickness of the card, the cutting may be hard. Just go slow and avoid cutting rough edges. 

You're done! Unless... :) So the card I happened to be using was mostly red, and its almost valentines day, so I couldn't help but make my guitar chip into a heart shaped guitar chip. This is the great part of making your own. You can make them whatever size or shape you want! 

Final product!

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Happy valentines day!

As always,
