What can I do with sunflower stalks?



I just pulled up all my sunflowers and the stalks are nice and solid. I don't want to just throw them in the woods if there's something I can do with them. Any ideas?

I reuse mine as trellises/tri-pod/supports for other flowers/vines/tomatoes in the garden;cut them up with lopping shears and add to compost bin;with the foam like papery inside they make great fire starters/kindling cut into 6" pieces; they would make great textural pieces for a privacy screen (make 2 frames from 1x2 and sandwhich the stalks between them or even to add to picture frames;cut into halves or circles and glue onto frames; if you know how to weave baskets they make really nice splines for huge solid baskets(to hold firewood or even large potted floor plants) ...............hey look what I found looking for craft ideas-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttpSWk8qSck wow how about this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q3X2CyKFLo guess others use them for this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fatkROKdsa8 more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWtR2ACM4yE more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6_OJrSW-9U
