i thought the emery boards a very good idea, also the frisbies, if i had an artistic streak at all i would love to make a model of a church or cathedral i might try making a cross, thats about my limit

Cut strips of 150 grit aluminium oxide paper(decorator’s sandpaper)aproximately 1/2 inch wide and glue to each side of a wooden ice lolly sticks. After the glue has dried trim off the surplus sandpaper which is overhanging the edges of the wooden lolly sticks to give excellent, long-lasting, emery boards for shaping finger or toe nails. Being much stiffer than the commercial ones made using cardborad they do a superior job and last longer – and of course are very much cheaper to make than the commercial ones. My wife and daughter swear by them !

Iced lolly sticks are recommended as the best ‘noter’ for playing on the Appalachian or Mountain dulcimer. So I’m looking for them! Guess I’ll have to buy an iced lolly.

You can bind them together and use them to carry a flame from one candle to another. If the candles aren’t too far, you can just keep the flame on the match, or better yet, use a lighter.

I use ‘em as plant labels, esp when it’s seed sowing time. You’ve never got enough labels.

Combine them with all your plastic cups and make yourself more ice lollies using different fruit juices.

Spreading PVA glue or mixing paint or polyfiller.
