That snow man Christmas tree ornament is so cute!
The only thing I can think of right off that I "recycle" as a quilter is a toothbrush. I was searching for one of those wooden stick looking things that sort of flatten out seams... don't know what it is called. I found some online but was working on a tricky Bargello and wanted something "right then" to help with the ironing. A toothbrush worked perfectly....not the brush end, of course. I never did order the wooden thing. I learned later that a wooden clothes pin would make 2 such tools, but I am happy with my toothbrush handle.
