Credit cards look stupid, but you can trick yours out with a DIY design using this guide and these materials:

  • 3M spray mount.
  • Credit card
  • Knitting needles
  • X-Acto knife
  • Premium T-shirt transfer paper
  • Iron
  • Photo editing software
  • Color inkjet printer
  • According to the guide-makers and this video, (warning: boobie), it’ll still work in machines.
