Make paper-bag or sock puppets and put on a show! (Stick to fairy tales or childhood stories; audience might read too much into "Punch and Judy," passion plays, or an adaptation of "Heartburn")

Make "jewelry" by stringing pieces of uncooked ziti and wads of tinfoil on a pretty colored string. Play a funny joke on your friends by wearing it the next time you go out-they'll think you've really 'lost it!' Ha, ha!

Make bookcovers out of paper bags. Decorate with markers, magazine cutouts, and stickers. Use as functional-and funky-way to protect/disguise valuable books such as The Pop-Up Kama Sutra, his complete Vonnegut collection, and your bound manuscript-in- progress (tentatively titled Gary Hortense Mitchell of Floyd Street in Austin: One Loser's Story -or- Oops! I Swore I'd Never Tell Anyone Your Middle Name, Didn't I?)
