I'll bet you could braid three of them together, put beads at the ends and use as belts, even as hat bands. It looks really nice (both colors).

Hi Sticks,
I wish I could use them, my sewing room is FULL to the hilt. I just started with lillies a couple of months ago. I was trying to get ideas for you. You could cut them up in sections and use them to tie the Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree. Or as ties for the presents (any occasion).

you must be just as drawn to these as i am...i need them not...but they are so flipping gorgeous....elegant presents....lovley ties on ornaments or wreaths...or cover the tree with them...as garland or bows....wouldnt the
blue be fabulous on silver wrapped packages?

Mesilla Park, NM

Yes, these sure would. There is always a use for things.. I save EVERYTHING. Just about. Maybe you could crochet some fancy placemats with them for the holidays. That's an idea. Once I used this thick rope to make a rug with a crochet needle the size of Texas..lol.
