I don't know if a store would (or could) use it again, but it's worth asking. also you could use them if you ever had a yard sale or anything. they're put on with a specialty gun, but you could probably put it in the same way it was taken out. I have a bad habit of hoarding these things (especially colored ones) because I have this desire to make an art piece with them, which I know I'll never do. about the plastic clothing tag hangers, I will actually remove the entire thing in tact (I can’t tell from the picture whether you’ve cut them or not, but I assume so). it’s a little difficult and may make a larger hole in the fabric, depending on the thread count, but it makes it so it could theoretically be used again. you just bend the smaller end so it’s next to the piece that goes through the fabric and push it through the same hole the other piece goes through (I don’t know if I explained that well but it’s not really very complicated, so…).

I have two in the kitchen that are all beat up looking because I use them all the time on pots and such. They don't scratch!! Can also use to scrape icy windshields .

I'm now a green and black fan - though I really need to cut the sugar - again! Jen Beth-

Regarding gluten, it's not a problem for people who can tolerate it. I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't eat gluten. It's just me and my crazy digestive system. The only reason I mentioned it was to explain why I had to buy a new bottle of soy sauce with a plastic-wrapped neck. .-= Beth Terry´s last blog ..<a href="http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/12/pact-changing-the-world-through-changing-my-underwear/" rel="nofollow">PACT: Changing the World through Changing my Underwear</a> =-.
