Actually I got an idea from this board a long time ago . . I collect them in a very small vase. The lady on here was talking about then winding them with a small amount of twine and using it for the other side of a preacher's hook in the garden - opposite the hummingbird feeder because they use the small threads as nesting material - Ithought that weas cool and it sure keeps my whole house cleaner -(wood floor in my office/quilting area) and the dogs seem to carry stuf everywhere - At least I'm blaming them . . .
