However, I am now actively seeking projects for these; I am using them for legs and arms for my garden people (watch this space) and also am trying to make hanging flowers out of them. Still not sure how to do it but will keep persevering and post any results forthwith! xx I recently got given a load of these by my hairdresser round the corner purely for threading onto string (which my two year old twins love doing).

They usually can be brought; however, kids love to make these out of pvc foam. The long foam curlers are the most ideal, as there size and shape will work well with Nerf gun darts. Please see nerf guns and nerf gun modifications (MODS). More, see e-bay. There is a huge fan base of young kids (ages 5-12) and teenagers. Try it out!!! Please try recycling them with Nerf gun fans.

This is especially good for tree seedlings. they are so thick and cushy they wont hurt thr bark. The others could be used for halloween . all you need is an old houscoaot your favorite facial mask and a rolling pin and in an instant you have beccome the housewife from h&ll.
