does anyone have any ideas for re-using the round cardboard mailing tubes or the cardboard tubes which long fireplace matches come in? thanks, Debbie in S.C.

cut a slit at either end and they are perfect for storeing christmas lights ,just wrap the lights around till you reach the end and tuck in the slit you made .saves a lot of time trying to untangle lights at christmas
I have gerbils who love to chew on them for their bedding. They need to chew and the items they sell at pet stores are so expensive.
If they are super-strong, you can push nails and tacks of different lengths through the outside, so the sharp points are on the inside. Then puth beans, rice, or small noodles inside. Put the plastic caps back on the ends and you have a rainstick--turn it on its end and let beans fall down to make the sound of rain.
You can call your local elementary school and ask if they need them in the art department. I know we save all of our paper towel rolls and different kinds of cans, like coffee cans for the local headstart children.
