What can I use pegged ornaments for?
They are these little plastic peggs I guess you can say that your suppose to stick in lamps or lights, to light them up, they come in all these different colors and shapes. A friend of mine gave me 1,000′s of these, yet I will not be using them for beading lamps, yet it says “100′s of Craft uses”, right on the front of it, I want to be able to use them for something crafty like, can I melt them? Has anyone ever used these? Are they toxic? Some of them are really cute, it would be a shame if there is nothing I could do with them.
These are what they look like:

I have also looking them up allover the internet and I kind find a darn them about them, even the company, which is Cousin Corporation of America, don’t even have them on their website. I’m thinking their an older product, please tell me, or show me anything you know!!!! I’m so close to an empire of crafting! help me.

Are we talking about the plastic flower shapes that you put into ceramic Xmas trees, and inset Xmas lights into? Screw them into a styrofoam ball, and glue them for a flower ball .
these are very old fashioned, lights used to have these around them a lot. There are manufacturers who make them like this, and box them in old fashioned boxes for sale. Bubble lights are back in style.
Put a bead in them, sew them onto something. Bring the thread up through the flower, catch the bead, and go back down and secure it.
Do they attach to the lights of a string of lights without glue? Cute to put them on the Xmas tree lights, or outside. wind them around a styrofoam ball, add berries for a kissing ball. Would be cute on a topiary.
I would not recommend melting them, they might give off toxic fumes.
I have a very old star shape, it has a wire base, some foil garland around a small string of lights, and there are great big star shaped pieces of plastic that fit over the lights. Old fashioned cute.
I typed Xmas light plastic covers into the browser, and got lots of sites.
Crowd them onto a styrofoam ball so they stand up for a really cool New Year’s ball.
