I made a capelet that was a copy worn by one of the "KISS" band members, the
front was made from shoulder ads covered in silver material! I also use
shoulder pads when making super hero costumes. They can be used to make a
muscly torso.....Amelia (who knows it's proberly not what your looking for!)

Thank you all for the ideas.

I have quite a few shoulder pads, and don't want to throw them out, as they
don't take up much room.

My torso is already a "muscly torso" (complete with fat) :-)

Maybe I could make pillow as one poster suggested. I got an idea of making a
doll blanket (in a doll's pram). All ideas were appreciated.

Thanks again.

Oh oh oh! Extra padding in an instrument case. I have a thrift store
trumpt that rattles around in the box, and the accessory box is one big
open space. A few shoulder pads will secure the valve oil and MP.

Also, when I made my baritone horn bags [memo to self: shoot for
project page] I stitched a couple shoulder pads inside to use as
pockets. Velcro shut. One holds valve oil, the other the MP.
