You Will Need (7 things)

  • Guitar pick / Plectrum
  • Used plastic Gift Cards (I used an old Walmart one)
  • Cardstock (I used an magazine insert) to make the pattern
  • Ink pen or Pencil(s) (to draw around the guitar pick)
  • Sharpie or other Marker Pen(s)
  • Kitchen Scissors or other heavy duty scissors (I bought my pair from the dollar store)
  • Scotch Tape - optional

Steps (4 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start with a standard guitar pick - it will be used to make a template.

  2. 2

    Put the guitar pick on card stock and draw around it to make a template then cut out the shape with the kitchen scissors.

  3. 3

    Put the template on the gift card and use a Sharpie or other marker to draw around the template on the card. I was able to get 4 picks from this card.

  4. 4

    You can use tape and tape it on then cut around the template (tape is made it a circle around index finger then used to stick the back of the template to the card).

    Cut around the markings or the template taped the card and you have yourself a new guitar pick!
