Potential CBT Projects

There's a lot of art and culture packed into every little CBT.  They are also overwhelmingly numerous and easy to collect, making them a perfect subject or medium for kids' crafts, art projects, and even stylistic analysis.  A few of the reasons CBTs are interesting to me personally is because they....

....show a part of consumer culture and product design that is repeatedly overlooked, even (sometimes) by package designers themselves.
....are a great play on the artistic idea of representing negative space and discarded space.
....could potentially represent a new visual unit, like pixels or mosaic tiles. 
....are tiny examples of "found art."
....They are made from a material that can potentially be glued, bent, drawn on, taped, or laminated

Here are a few potential projects involving CBTS:

CBT-shirts
CBT mosaics
CBT jewelry
Paintings from blown-up CBT images
