What comes to mind is line drawers with them, also use them as a matting for pictures.

Cut out large stencils in letters of a child's name to display on a wall.

Save them for gift boxes for birthdays etc

Hello. I would use it for an artistic project that could be layered with different paper elements and other mixed media features to create a one of a kind framed art piece, bookmark or journal cover.

Here’s a link with some mixed media paper projects.

Maybe use them to make a “one of a kind” abstract art piece! Or maybe cut them into uniform pieces and make a memory game for children by laying the patterns face down and paint the plain side with colorful colors.

I would buy some stencils and cut out for decorations. Like Names for children, kitchen "words' like coffee or tea. Bathroom - Bath, Shower, wash, brush, flush etc.

These would be a pretty backdrop for photos.

You could cut different sizes out of them and frame them and hang them just as they are in a grouping or two. Maybe in a laundry room or child's room? Really pretty, lots of interest.

To hide contents of this type of clear plastic storage bin, cut pieces of the pretty coloured cardboard to fit tightly against the inside of the front (or side) panels.

Maybe cut into small pieces and frame for a gallery wall
