Take a ton of photos? Keep filling up your camera with video? Then this is the perfect project for you.

Follow this simple tutorial to turn an old credit card (or one of those fake cards you get with new wallets) into a snap-in holder for an extra memory card. Then just stash that sucker in your wallet or pocketbook for when you need it.

With memory prices at an all-time low, having an extra card on hand–just in case–is a pretty smart idea.

p.s. Extra credit tip: The Sandisk USB+ SD Card plugs straight into a USB port, thus doubling as a thumbdrive. Stash that little guy in your wallet and you’ve got an extra memory card AND a thumbdrive. That’s thinking.
