Crafts Using Plastic Leis

I have a grocery bag full of those cheap plastic leis; not the kind that look like flowers, but the ones that are just scrunched plastic. I hate to pitch them. Does anyone have any craft ideas that could make use of them?

yes I use them all the time. I just glue them to place mats around the edge and use thoses to make mats to set candles that come in jars on. They are very pretty and the people I give them to seam to really like them. Maybe you could try this . Have a wonderful day.

You can offer them up on Freecycle. Someone will come and get them.

give them to your local elementary schools. They can use them for activities they have throughout the school year.

If you can't find a use for them, ask around. I don't know about your area, but in our state, NC and some of the surrounding states, our Vacation Bible School for 2008 is called "Outrigger Island" and has a Hawaiian theme. Maybe the churches could use them.
