I've seen them on allotments used as bird scarers. At an international scout camp a couple of years ago they had lots of different craft items made from them. If you warm them gently you can get them to soften and then you can mold them. I think people were making shiny plant pots quite easily.

Ha Ha.. gotta try warming them... do you think maybe you could get them to stick to your back like a Dinosaur?

LOL! We've got an ashtray in my house made in exactly that fashion. The skeet practise is a good idea; I use them as shooting targets myself, good visibility at long range with the naked eye. Best have a nice xmas smiley to go with that...rude santa! :P

I think you can string the discs together and put them in a doorless doorway, but it only works if the disc has a lazer etched label or no lable art at all.

They would also make an attractive ceiling cover. We were going to do that to my oldest sons room at one time but we got tired of seeing the darn things all over the house before we could get enough of em to do it. I saw a picture of some kids' dorm room a while back that had the ceiling covered an it looked pretty cool! 8)

;D I didn't even think about those. Matching necklaces & bracelets, anyone? Or how 'bout linking 'em together for a belt (just the thing for the "belted oversized shirt" look)?

Next time you go out on a "three-hour tour," make sure to carry an AOL disk with you. That way, if you should happen to get marooned on an uncharted desert island, you can use the shiny side to signal passing aircraft.
