Creative Uses of Merch

This is for those who like to get creative with their merch. I am waiting on my Mystery Bag and I have some merch from PJ's visit to Melbourne last year. I know how to use my stickers, but how is everyone using their other little bits of merch? I've seen some cool t-shirt cushion covers in this forum. Do you have any exciting ideas? I have a Melbourne tea towel sitting in the linen press, waiting for a new life. BTW I am a Gen X female despite my user name.

    The only creative repurpose of merch that I do is I turn the pins into refrigerator magnets.  I pull the safety pin out and glue in a magnet.  It beats them sitting in a drawer or attached to bag I infrequently use.

    My buddy has a NYC banner and just puts the buttons around the perimeter of it

    Like those magnets. You'd see them a lot when getting some grub.

    Saw someone post a picture of pins on a pj scarf and hung on the wall. 
    I guess t h at would work on a shirt that's not your size too. Fold it up and pin away. 

    Seen some great shadow box displays too.  Put all sorts of stuff in there.

    Stickers framed with copy of setlist or ticket stub.
    A bunch of stickers framed or used to put around a matt for a poster

    Like many of us here...my hang out area is looking like a microcosm of 10c headquarters! I'd call it 2 1/2 Club. :/


    I had an electrician doing some work and he was like "hey you really like Pearl jam"

    Get down with the sickness.

    I've received and given away merch too.

    It's fun to have a small contest with merch you'll never use. As long as it's free there are no restrictions here I'm aware of.

    Warning it can be expensive to ship! might want to stick to the country you live in.
