Things to do with spent staples

So I'm removing staples from some really old documents so they can be put in the bin for Shred-It Man.

I have a mountain of buckled staples by my side. I'd hate to just bin them.

But what else to do?

Heap them up onto a large magnet and sculpt them into a likeness of Michaelangelo's David.

Frosties? Coco Pops? Nestles Lucky Charms??

A handful of bent staples could only improve a bowl of Lucky Charms.

Put them in an envelope, mail it to the staple factory, tell them to recycle.

Don't you have metal recycle bins in the UK?

It isn't if they use the envelope to make new staple packaging.

No, they're made of plastic.

Daisy chain them and hang them from a hapless person's shirt. Mirth!
