another question :D

[o-nikki-o.livejournal.com]

recently i've gone to dollar tree & bought a TON of light sticks - the kid that are bracelets & necklaces - for the kids...
we like taking glowing walks after dark. ^^
so as a consequence there are half a ton of these dead things laying around my house.....some with connectors some without. 
the bracelets are about 6-7 inches long (can't find the ruler/measuring tape) and the necklaces are just under 3x that.
anyone have any ideas about what i should do with them?? i mean, the kids still like playing with them but as they keep losing the connectors the fun ends quickly.

so any crafty ideas?  or are these going in the can when we leave for vacation sunday??

thanks! :D
