Thrifty Metal Tags

This past weekend I decided to stop at my local Michael’s and found a great deal on metal stencil looking tags.  I remember looking at them months ago in the dollar section but held off buying them as I just wasn’t sure what I’d use them for.

 
I couldn’t pass them up this time as they were only 25 cents each.  I think I spent a good 15 minutes rummaging through the bins to see what number and letters I could find. 
 
 
I initially thought of numbering storage bins but couldn’t find all the numbers I wanted so I settled on some number and letters for a project for next year with these…..
 
And these numbers for a project for this year….
 
I’m thinking just to framed the tags in a frame on top of some sheet music or holiday paper.  What would you do with these great finds?
 
If you are lucky enough to live near a Michael’s it might be worth a trip there to see if you can pick up a few of these tags for yourself.  I’d love to hear and see what you do with these tags if you find them at your local store.
