Lotsa guys use em to decorate tables for their smoking rooms.  I've seen them used to decorate ashtrays too, and that looked pretty cool.  Even seen a bunch framed together in decorative designs which was nice too.  Me?  I just pitch em.

I did not figure this bunch for the arts and crafts type, and I am not either any more, but some of these bands are just so nice!

CB, you and I should go into business together. My idea plays on the idea that women like the bands AND rings, so my afternoon daydreams sometimes drift to ways to take an intact, still-glued band and encase it in a clear resin of some sort, thereby creating a fashionable ring that I can sell to help support my addiction. (idea patent-pending, or it would be if I weren't so damned lazy).

I don't know, but I would not wear a resin ring anyway... I am a gold and diamonds kind of gal 8)

Now, a gold ring with the label art on it... *swoon*
