Default What Are These Things?
I found these in a box of crafting items that I got at a thrift store. Does anyone know what they are? They're really flexible.

If they have wire inside they might be hair curlers?

Do the ends fit into the holes? They look like a type of perm rod for long hair.

Hair curlers! Still at use at my house...makes long hair stay curled longer as they make a nice, tight curl.
