Could you wrap the tubing in strips of fabric and coil it into table mats or baskets? I've seen that done using cording.

This is what I do with small tubing and I love it.

This may or may not work but could it be used as piping covered with fabric around larger items like big tote bags etc.? Also could it be used in a casing for those thread scrap holders you put by your sewing machine ....used to hold the little scrap holder open?? Just a couple of thoughts.

I was thinking along these lines also!
Also good for stiffening a seam. I could see it being useful in the garden too.

Cut your tubes to 1/4 to 1/2 in slice down one side wrap around your bobbins. Works great for me.

I cut little pieces off and use on the ends of sharp scissors, seam rippers, stiletto, etc. I seem to always lose the caps for these.

Great Idea...we can send them to the local VA hospital and they would probably be handy for nursing homes too.

Can you cover it with fabric and coil it to make bowls and baskets?
