What to do with bits of fur and "parts"?

OK, we're cleaning out my Gramma's house (OMG what a job!) and we find several fur stoles, wraps, coats, etc.  Some we know are real, and some just luscious fabric.   Looking at her stoles they seem odd to me but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Well two days later I find this random Avon box in amongst fake flowers, photos, and fabric scraps.  Upon opening I found little mink heads, tails, legs with feet, and scraps of pelt/fur.

At some point my gramma had cut all the "details" off her stoles and resewed them!  That's why they looked so odd to me.

So now I have this lovely box of death... what do I do with the leftovers?  Aside from a proper burial?

Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

If you ever wanted to really freak the mundanes that would be a sure way to do it.  Of course I have a somewhat morbid sense of humor sometime so..... lol.

Offer them to someone who makes sporrans?  I've seen a few sporrans with an animal head on the flap and two little feet hanging down.

Sell them to me, I can use them to jazz up The Mighty War Rat's armour.  Seriously, Nixie needs some animal parts, and this way I wouldn't have to destroy anything.

The first batch I've found has been spoken for.  If I find more, I'll let you all know.  I believe Unilady was the next to request.

:D  Just had to laugh at that.  Sorry,  Oh my dear you've stumbled on to a treasure a I would see it.  Pouch flaps, Boot toppers, sewn them into seams of just about anything.  Glad to see you found a home for them.  Best Wishes.
