| These were given to me by a retired salesman. I think they are samples from furniture finishes. I have tons! Some even have plants and leaves embedded in them. These are 4"x7". Other designs are smaller. Of course my husband doesn't understand why I want to keep them! Thanks! |

| 4x7 what? cloth, wood ,metal? Some kind of tiles? Do you have a pic? Sound like wood but don't know how you would embed leaves in it. resin maybe? We need ore info! Thanks, Jan |

| I thought I had posted a photo. What is the best way to post a photo on this site? The samples are thin plastic,about the thickness of a playing card. Let me try another upload. |

| I would have kept them too, I see potential!! Have you trolled around etsy?? I can lose an entire afternoon getting inspiration from some truly creative people on there! Hmmm, if they can be cut with some tool (dremmel?) and/or if you can write on them or emboss/engrave on them, I see plant tags, gift tags or card making ingredient. |

| Cut and drill holes then attach together loosely with jump rings and hang in window or mobile:) |
|
| they look to me like counter top finish samples. How about drilling holes at the corners, find large jump rings, and hook them together to make a "curtain" since you have so many, to cover a door way or window. |
|
| How about coasters. Cut to size then glue cork on the back. Glue to inside of a flat tray. Simple squares or you could do a design with birds and flowers or what ever else strikes your fancy. Could also do same but use a picture frame and add a wood back and then add side handles to make a tray. Or you could just do a mosaic and frame it. |
