Cut them into 3-4 inch long 1/2 inch wide strips and staple them together into long chains to hang on the yule tree or decorate the house with during the holidays. Silver side out.

I think they might be able to be sewn into ’space blankets’ like the ones hikers use for survival purposes – would that work? If it did, it would sure be handy for disaster situations.

Wouldn’t that be a bit scratchy for the female?

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I’m going to start a crisp packet/misc packaging weaving project soon so thanks for posting these links – that’s a different structure than I had thought of and it looks fun. :)

You can collect as many as possible and then cut them into smaller strips and weave them together to make bags.

This is the link to begin the weave….

and this is the final stage of how to actually make it. You can make them from sweet wrappers too. =o)

You can also wash them out, ensuring that all little bits have gone and then (with lubrication) they make ideal condoms.

Paperchain Cooperative, ECC Recycling Park, exton Road, Exeter 01392 490255.

Devon County Council use boxes from the above company to recycle crisp packets. As you can imagine all the depressed council workers munch their way through loads of crisps.

You could turn them inside out and use them as book covers.

A band called Recoup used them as cd sleeves (http://greenfinder.co.uk/articles/reduce-reuse-recoup/) which makes me wonder if they couldn’t be used for cd and dvd storage. Recoup used cardboard inserts; I wonder whether light board, from, for example, boxes of teabags, might work well? Perhaps they could be washed, turned inside out, and pasted onto sheets of cardboard/thick card as part of a cd/dvd “book”?

A friend of mine use to rinse them out fully, dry them and stick them to the inside of her coursework binders. (one per binder)

She would then use it as a “pouch” for her floppy disks that the coursework project was saved on and so it was kept with the notes and papers.

Now, that was a good few years ago and we all use CDs now… if they fit CDs, could be used like this again :p
