Regarding your metal reels...we donate some of our discarded metal reels
and the reels with the round hole on one side to Day Care center.  The
children use them as building blocks.

Does anyone have any ideas how to use old metal microfilm reels during
the holiday season?

We currently have a project underway to move all our film on metal
reels to plastic ones and it occurred to me that some craft-oriented
people might have already seen possibilities for these metal reels.
Someone has suggested spray painting them and using them as tree
ornaments, but this sounds fairly mundane to me.

Throwing this out on a Thursday instead of a Friday this week.
