I work at a commercial linen/laundry company.  When we rag out linen, we take the tags off.  I have to count them all to track the ragout, then I throw the tags away.  Sometimes I've done over 200 at once.  I hate to throw them away.  I keep thinking there has to be something that they can be used for.  They are little tags like you find on your towels and things.  They have the company name and linen size.  They are small, maybe 2 1/2 inches long, when unfolded, but all different sizes from different companies.  Any ideas?

Long time lurker, first time poster.  My son brought me eight hand grenade pins from his time at Air Force Basic Training.  I would like to do something jewelry-ish with them, but all ideas are appreciated.  They aren't quite what I was thinking they were going be, and they are a little heavy for earrings.  I was thinking of attaching two jump rings to each one and attaching chain, making a necklace.  They are a greenish/bronze color, and are made like keychains.
