I have birds, 2 macaws and a conure = I use scraps and anything around like empty spools to make toys for them. Braiding scraps and trimmings with spools added in keeps them amused until they destroy it. If any are still usable I add them to the next toy along with leather and wood scraps.

As soon as mine are empty, I look for a cat to toss it to. Once a year, we pull all cat 'toys' out from under everything, toss them out, and start over on a new bunch the next year.

What cute ideas. Love the tape measure spool. I collect them, but have thrown away a lot of them.

Use them for a special "card" for a loved one. I made some for valentines day but will be making some for birthdays also, or if you have bunches of them, cover with fabric and string to hang in a doorway for a "spool" door.

That is an adorable idea. I'll pass that on to others

Lots of good ideas here. Thanks for sharing. I give mine to the art teacher at school.

Oh I am so glad that someone else has the same question. I am saving them in a bag, can't bring myself to throw them away. My Mom was a bride of the depression. Maybe we could string them on a wire and hang them in the garden to discourage the birds from picking at the berries. Maybe spray them with the plastic paint and string them for mobiles to hang on the porch.

WOW, all these ideas are fantastic!!!! Sure glad I asked the question. Thanks everyone.
