would it be possible to cut the top off, do some hardcore cleaning of the innards and use then for piping icing on cakes and other things? Any good tips for getting rid off the tomato oil/taste?

Cut the metal to a big sheet, and use it for anything you’d use metal for – collect a lot of them and use them for the roof of a bird house or a dog house, or anything you’ll find use for scrap metal.

I use the metal to make ‘toppers’ for hand made greetings cards.
You can impress designs using a pen on the painted side, it then impresses the design as a relief on the metal side, cut to shape and place onto the front of a card with other craft bits.

You could use them as a garden plant marker. Cut out shape you like, emboss the plant name and paint the back. Hang on a coiled wire with maybe some pretty baubles.

The tubes they would use would be the plastic ones not the metal ones

hi
i know that there are companies that make such things into toiletry bags.
i first saw this when i was visiting my home town of Adelaide last.
it was at a Womadelaide market stall; except they were done by toothpaste tubes.
have been trying to find out how to make them myself since – so am looking forward to any tips!

Can they be manipulated into jewellery somehow?
