Scrappers: Choose your own adventure!

[supertank]

Well, it's a slight misnomer. It's really choose my adventure. I've spent several hours over the last two days cleaning out my pin books and organizing them for an upcoming trip to Disneyland. Seeing the thread below about donating scrappers to kids, and reading about people making them into magnets, or breaking them up and throwing them away has got me thinking... what should I do with mine? Should I throw them in the ocean? Should I bury them in the desert? Should I make some sort of abstract art? I don't know, and I'm not creative enough to figure it out. So give me some ideas, and let's see where this takes us. Honestly, they'll probably end up going to the kids mentioned below who will actually get some joy out of them, but what are some creative things I can do with these?

Well you could get a corkboard,put them on there and use it for organizing your trades/requests/addresses and so on

Like instead of using thumbtacks? That's a good idea, especially the small ones.

I use mine to decorate my bag for university and my handbag Only have 2 but they look super cute ^_^

Someone over on a fb group suggested today that you can remove the tack, drill a small hole into it or add a loop of ribbon/string to the top to make a cute charm bracelet I though that sounded pretty nifty

Maybe Belloq had it right after all....

But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless! Who knows, in a thousand years, even it may be worth something!

I have a friend who has a big cork board who lets kids pick ones they want off of it, especially since kids end up with alot of fakes anyways. She gives some away and lets them pick their own for their own scrappers. (we usually take and tell the kids to keep their real ones if they have them)

She also mixes in a few really nice duplicates of real pins onto the boards so maybe they can get a few good pins for their scrappers :3

Scrappers into magnets!

Such a great idea! I think a trip to the craft store is in order.

Dom on Pintalk is a teacher and his students use them in art projects. I would send some to him. If you need his address I can get it for you.

Use them to sharpen your shooting skills at the gun range.

you could always see if someone in your area does 'die cut' images, get them to cut out a shape of a mickey, mount all of your scrappers as close as possible then put the die cut image over the top and viola, you have a mickey mouse made up of pins. That is of course if you have enough hehe!
