My friend recently celebrated her 50th birthday by hosting a large card party. I re-purposed an empty rice container (a good way to avoid recycling plastic containers is to buy items in bulk and use refillable containers). For this plastic shape, I had two over-sized playing cards that I had gotten through a swap many years ago. The card fit with minimal trimming. For the other two sides, I cut up box tops and added pieces of playing cards and book paper. Around the lid, I applied ribbon using heavy duty glue dots. The top of the lid was covered with a circular disc cut from paper and layered with a circular playing card. The container could be used to hold small items on a desk top or to store small items. For the party, it served as the collection bin for thoughtful notes her guests had written in celebration of her big day.
