what could be made with these.....

[marysmessages]

Hi everyone -

My company has made laminated luggage tags at a conference. Evidentally, not everyone grabbed the "loop" that comes with the tag. It is a clear, vinyl (plastic) loop - 6 inches long and about 3 inches wide when pulled apart....very flexible. What could these be used for?....especially in the stamping sense?? I have a good number of them and for the life of me cannot come up with a single idea....anyone else have any good ones??

Please advise and thanks in advance.

OOO you could use the loop and make your own tags

I wonder, are you able to stamp on the plastic loop? what about using it as a handle for a paper purse or for a notepad?

couldn't stamp on these - imagine that it's the diameter of a bamboo skewer...so like a loop - no openings at all...about 6 inches long and if stretched open would be a circle of 3 inches in diameter and the thickness of a bamboo skewer. very flexible but if you cut into it you couldn't tie it back together or anything like that and if you'd cut one of the ends the length would be 12 inches but with a "V" shape in the middle of the length where the other end was - I tried but it doesn't straighten out at all. Seems like such a waste to not be able to do anything with them....

What about handles for small gift bags. I received a small gift bag this week and it has plastic handles and what look like brads at the ends, inside and outside the bag. It's so cute, and I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd like to make something like that.

I looked on the bottom of the bag, and found something similar by the same manufacturer:
