Use them as lids for small bottles.

You can also wear them over metal thimbles.

Makes nice hat for a mini doll.
If you scratched or cut your finger, apply an ointment , small bandage and wear thimble for extra protection.
Use it in place of a lost lid for a thick marker or a pen.
Hang on a wall and grow tiny house plant in it.

Put one on each pincer of your pliers and then you won’t scratch whatever you are holding or tightening.

What a SUPER idea. We’re (art teachers) always encouraging kids to use alternative materials and to explore the multitude of objects with which they can paint. This would be condusive to getting HS students to get more intimate with their art, since getting fingers dirty at this age is not cool, and we surely wouldn’t suggest ‘finger painting’ to this level? “Oh Miss, you HAVE to be kidding!”

One of those seven Snow White’s friends can it use as a condon.

It has such a fun texture and shape… Maybe you could cut the lumpy bits off and lay them flat and perhaps glue them to a surface to make it non-slip… perhaps your dashboard? Or perhaps on the bottom of something that tends to slide around a bit… like your chairs in your kitchen?

On a pretty whimsical side… I think you could stretch the rubber bits around like a bead or something and wire it up to be nifty rubber nubbed balls for necklace/earring wear.

As an Art teacher, I see them as little finger brushes. Easy to clean and durable. I have something similar and the kids (ages 3-13) LOVE them!

Donate to schools!

Is enough of the top intact to use as a thimble?

Cut the narrow end off, to make them into a tube, and slide them onto plastic coat hangers to make them non slip!

It sounds to me like an awful lot of paper is being shuffled. Why not look to preserving a few trees instead and maybe the fingerstalls will last longer?
