Default Floss uses?

I was given about 30 boxes (10 per box)of different colours of embroidery floss. More than I can possibly use in my lifetime. I have thought of Redwork and tying quilts but what else can I use it for? Any ideas?

Chasing Hawk, I was wondering if young girls still liked making the friendship bracelets. Maybe the 4H leader might be interested?

all kinds of embroidery/embellishment. great for sewing on buttons-because it's strong; donate it to school art departments, senior center, scout groups- jewelry, lots of uses.

you can use it as regular sewing thread, hand sewing. I would unwind it and let it relax before using it.
