Things to do with 1/16" acrylic?

Hi GF fam,
I accidentally ordered 1/16" acrylic instead of 1/8" and the process to return it is too complicated. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use it for? I usually use my 1/8" for cake toppers but I think 1/16" will be to breakable for this use. Any ideas would help! Thanks in advance!

Layered ornaments - or anything layered for that matter.

Earrings, inlay. 1/16th acrylic makes very light dangle earrings. Sometimes I create two different design layers and put them together because they are so light.

Reduce the size of anything designed for 1/8” acrylic by 50% and make a miniature item. Like tabbed boxes. There’s lots of stuff in the Glowforge catalog you could try.

The thin stuff looks awesome layered with other materials, particularly a contrasting wood.
