What can I create with those pink plastic (Not Foam) hair rollers?
+18
Found a bag of those pink plastic pull apart rollers hidden for about 10 years since I'm sort of a ponytail gal and mostly create with 3D embellishments I found myself stumped. Goodness knows trying to figure out what can I create with those 60's style hair horrors (pulling apart, stacking, twisting and Yes covering them with furry fabrics, Oh My.. Thank you, Helen

Is this the type of 'pink plastic hair rollers' you are referring to?
How many do you have?
Are you talking about the kind your use for a perm? I'm having trouble picturing them. But maybe use for "logs" in a scenery landscape?

Here's an idea:
The plastic curlers with the snap on casings are great for ribbon control! Wrap ribbon around it and clip it in place. It will never unravel again!
Hi Helen: I have some of those, too :) What I have done with mine is to wrap strips of ribbon around the tube part and clip it together with the other part. Then, I ran a PVC pipe through the tubes and hung them outside as a sort of decoration. I like it :)
Hi Helen: No, sorry, no pictures. It was a few years ago. The ribbon was different colours and about 3 feet long, and some were 1 foot and I made an angle with the ribbon going from one end at 1 foot to 3 feet in the middle and back to 1 foot at the other end. It was quite pretty blowing in the wind. I'm going to have to make another one. You can get ribbon at the Dollar and a quarter store. PVC is that white plastic pipe you see at the home improvement stores. It's pretty strong. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Pipe-Fittings-Pipe-PVC-Pipe/N-5yc1vZ1z18i41?NCNI-5&searchRedirect=pvc%2520pipe&semanticToken=d00r20r01122000000_2022011704022833285111474635_us-east4-201x%20d00r20r01122000000%20%3E%20%20rid%3A%7B4ccf7ece5ea1050abed98836311fa70e%7D%3Arid%20st%3A%7Bpvc%20pipe%7D%3Ast%20ct%3A%7Bpvc%20pipe%7D%3Act%20tgr%3A%7BNo%20stage%20info%7D%20qu%3A%7Bpvc%20pipe%7D%3Aqu It comes in different sizes and clear, as well as white too. If it has printing on it, you can usually just sand that off. I have used large hair clips to hold up my plants, indoor and even tomato plants and, I have one on my visor, in the car, to hold my sunglasses and/or papers:)
here is an idea for you Helen

make a mixture of bird seed and peanut butter. Tie a string to roller and then smother the roller in mixture and form into a ball. Hang out doors. Birds will love it
I would have loved to see that Helen!
