I’ve had some success using them to attach fabric to small PVC pipe for quick and dirty stage backdrops. Just wrap the fabric around the pipe, and put a section of the binding over it.

It’s not super strong, but it’s easy to remove, and doesn’t damage the pipe or the fabric.

My daughter is partially sighted and her school goes through a lot of these. All of her books have to be photocopied, blown up and bound using these. So I know any school with a special needs unit would love to have them. She goes to the Charles Dickens in Broadstairs, Kent. Or sent them to the Royal School for the Blind in London.

You can always give office items to SCHOOLS. In the US, anyway, they are always in need of extra supplies of all kinds.

I offered them to a photocopy shop. As they were in good condition, they accepted them to reuse.

I use them to help young seedlings stand tall in my vegetable garden, cutting them to the right length as needed.
