Most of the time, I make picture frames out of them. The foil from a cigarette pack works well. You can cut each one into 4 pieces. I used to have a handbag made from paper and strips of garbage bags, in the chain pattern, many years ago. I've been searching the web to find it, to teach my daughter.
