I took guitar lessons for a while when I was a kid. The thing I remember most was that I could never keep up with the picks. Each week we had to go buy a new one since I would lose the one from the week before by time we got home each week. I bet there are lots of you out there that have a similar problem keeping up with your picks.
A new gadget called the Pick Punch has surfaced that can punch picks out of all sorts of plastic items like credit cards, gift cards, and more. You can buy sheets of material from the company and make your own picks with stuff inside them.
The Pick Punch sells for $24.95 and makes picks in the 351 style that are roughly triangular. They measure 30mm tall x 25.5mm wide. I would bet if you have enough old gift cards and junk around your house you can save the money you would spend on picks to make up the purchase price pretty fast. Each sheet of pick material is $3.00 and can make from 56 to 85 picks.
