What to do with15 3" metal washers?

Carri Reed on Jan 18, 2016Cut a circle out of wood with some holes drilled in the outside edge of the circle and one or two in the middle. Go to the hardware store or local plumber (because they would probably give you them for free) and get different lengths and sizes of copper pipe. Drill holes through the tops of all the pipes and run strings through them and up through the wood and tie them off. Then in the other holes hang a washer or two. This will make a very nice wind chime. Or you could make a washers game and drink beer which ever you prefer.Helpful Reply

Cindi on Jan 18, 2016They look real pretty with alcohol inks, and you can make pendants, earrings, bracelets from them. Check out Pinterest for some ideas, too many to list, here's the link from a search for "washers for Jewelry"......https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=washers+jewelry&term_meta[]=washers|autocomplete|3&term_meta[]=jewelry|autocomplete|Helpful Reply

Susan Bechamp on Jan 18, 2016Make an upholstered, tufted headboard to put behind your bed. The washers hold the buttons flat against the fabric and padding. If you don't like the look of the metal washers, they can be spray painted to compliment or contrast with your fabric.Helpful Reply
