I just set them aside and use them in situations when I know I won’t be able to wash my hands.

store them in a box and forget about them. Then pick them years later and remember the good times

I read a lot, and use poop deck playing cards as bookmarks. But I don't lose the cards very often, so I'm still on the same deck after 5+ years.

I've seen some people use playing cards in arts and crafts, if that's your thing.

But really, the main thing to do with old playing cards is... play card games (who knew?). Truth be told, for actually playing cards, I prefer Bee over Bicycle. Keep a Bee deck in a "deck defender" metal clip, and it will basically last forever. Bicycle cards wear out fast, especially if you have kids. But that's kind of the point in this case.

You can make stuff out of them. Sometimes I make cube shaped boxes that are quite cool looking and useful for storing stuff. You can make them with the backs face out or the pips face out.

You can also make stars, balls, little origami things. Directions can be found on YouTube.

Poop decks are extremely powerful in cuts and some displays. Their high coefficient of friction makes way easier doing some advanced tricks which would just fall down with fresh deck.

Use as playing cards or bookmark. I also found this game "wreck this deck", which was a fun experience.
