1001 uses for expired bank cards

No. 487. Make your own maraca

First take your expired bank card.

Then fold it in half and then fold it the other way until it splits. Do this for several weeks during idle periods at you desk, I would recommend whilst waiting for your PC (or Mac, if you are so inclined) to start up.

Purchase and remove the outer foil from a Kinder Surprise egg.

Remove chocolate.

And leave yourself with just the empty surprise chamber/drum.

Place your expired bank card shards in the chamber/drum.

Seal the expired bank card shards within the chamber/drum in much the same way you would with a regular household time capsule.

Hold the, now partially filled, chamber/drum in your hand and shake it to the delight of your friends and colleagues.
