They are about 10 x 10 inches. Any suggestions?

You could tile a one-of-a-kind table
Backgrounds for pressed & dried flowers/leaves for wall hangings
Glue photos to them and hang from twine for a photo collage/mobile

Mosaic pictures or trivets/coasters for Christmas presents?
I am not very creative, so I will have to think about it...will post back if I come up with anything. I love the mosaic trivet idea though. I would love to receive that as a holiday gift :)

If you have access to a scroll saw you can cut them into any shape, drill a hole and hang on Holiday tree with a ribbon. I'm thinking more nature themed because they are wood grained, like mushroom, birdhouse, bird, chipmunk, acorn, beehive.
Speaking of beehives,(and OT) we topped our tree last year with a rope beescape beehive, bought those packages of rotating things you plug into the mini light string, bought 20 little bumblebees which we attached to the rotating things with long wire and had the bees continuously flying around the hive on the top of the tree. Man, I love nature!

Thank you! Those are some really cool ideas!

At the moment they are still sitting under my desk taking up space. I'm waiting for a nice rainy day to get creative!
