Tape them to your quilting stencils to hang them up. Then when you need one in the back you can just unhook it and not have to remove all the others in front of it.

My favorite idea-I am going to use this!

Look on YouTube - there are videos which demonstrate jewelry making with them.

Use a fine line marker, number the tags as in 1-a, 1-b, for as many blocks and rows your quilt will have, attach a tag to each finished block, with a straight pin (figure it out) and stack your blocks, knowing you will be able to lay them out in the correct order when you are ready to sew them together. Think about it, there are purchased tags for this purpose, and the tags on the bread are free!!

Many uses on Pinterest. One was to put around the rubber toe strap on sandels when they tend to pull out of the sole.

I read this tip on the squarefoot garden forum. The bees have access to the blossoms but the plastic tabs kept the moths away, and no caterpillars were munching on the leaves! Don't recall if they said why it worked, but it did..........:shock:

I'm referring to the 1" plastic pieces, not the skinny plastic ties. They showed a photo and it looked like the tabs were moths on the leaves.

I read somewhere that when you have a roll of duct tape, masking tape, etc., that when you finally get it unrolling, you put one of these tabs on the end and next time you won't have a problem starting to get the tape going off the roll.
