You could do an ethnic theme & use them to make tribal necklaces??

Use them to make a rainmaker..
Push them inside a cardboard tube (not too tightly)
Seal one end... add rice ... seal the other end... tip :D

I know!! I thought you meant the blue and green plastic ones:laughing:
We made these recently and I spent ages cutting out circles of sparkly paper. Milk bottle tops would have been much better

What kind of bottle tops is it you have? I keep my plastic green/blue/red ones and we use them for printing with, ( Olympic flags!!) counting, sorting etc.
