Default new uses for Dental Floss

I just came across a novel use for dental floss: to gather flounces/ruffles on a cushion. BeSewStylish

Mmm, minty cushions

I'm also using dental floss to make strings to hang the Xmas cards on, its really strong (makes a good temporary clothes line when camping too).

I use those little pointed brushes between the teeth instead of floss. Mini Christmas trees?
