Worn Out Cassettes?

I was thinking about getting all Martha Stewart and making some cog ornaments to throw in w/Xmas cards. Any ideas on what I should offer on CL for busted cassettes?

I personally would convert them to shurikens and use them.

They're not interested in helping out. I think they're worried about re-use? First thing I thought of though. I could actually dumpster dive, but I think they share a dumpster with the restaurant cross the parking lot. I may just go back when the manager isn't there.

Someone was using them to make wind chimes at the Tour de Tucson expo.

We use old (1970s) TA chainrings from one of our old tandem cranksets/crossover rings as wind chimes. Very melodic sound!!!
