Thread them lengthways and use them as a screen to prevent flies getting thru etc to your room. Stick them together in a block for a yoga block? Nigello

Hi you can recycle the plastic from the bobbins and this plastic can in turn be used to make plastic pencils, rulers and pens which are all evryday items that people use. I work in a shop that sells these items and the kids love them
