Wrap the bands around things. Depending on the width and type of band, you can create an artsy look wrapping a band around a lamp, a vase, or even the base of a candle to be used as a stabilizer.

Place paper clips or barrettes around the circumference of the strap to use them for organizational purposes. If you are into jewelry making, or have a lot of small craft pieces, set the bands in a drawer or tray and use the circles of the wrist bands to contain small beads and findings and keep them separate.

Donate them. Kids love these and therefore some charities, churches or even schools that are having a fundraiser may appreciate being able to obtain these for free. In turn, they can give them out as prizes and such. You could also give them away as party favors at your own child's birthday.
