What To Do With All Those Bread Clips???

We seem to collect little things in our house and bread clips are one of those items.
But what can you really do with them.
I use them to tag each of my cords under my computer desk.
They are great for tagging pots in the greenhouse.

But as as craft I find that they are limited.
That is until I threw some in the toaster oven one day.

I heated them at 350 degrees for about 3-5 minutes.....

....and they curled quite nicely.

They curled well enough to string them on a cord, making a great easy craft for the kids.

I see plenty of opportunity for designs and such now that I have figured this out.
Once the collection grows I will co-ordinate colours for some fancy creations.
