Is there any use for overhead projector paper anymore?

Do you still have an overhead projector lying around? Check with the librarian - that's where those things hide in my school. The kids might enjoy the novelty of projecting that way. When I was in school, I remember projecting a smaller drawing onto a piece of butcher paper on the wall and re-tracing it to make posters and presentations - maybe use it for passion projects, social studies presentations, etc.

Other than that, it's kind of translucent, right? Maybe use like vellum in a scrap project.

Are you talking about the clear pages? I teach first and have used them as the cover for class books and practice pages with a dry erase marker. I have printing practice pages that I cover with the clear pages and put both on a clipboard. They use dry erase markers to practice on them.

Funny this came up today. We were cleaning out some stuff in storage yesterday and I had my students throwing stuff away. They brought me a binder full of old overheads and had no idea what they were. They are 6th graders and had never seen an overhead. I just laughed at them and told them it was an old fashion Promethian Board. (Smart White Board)

They're great for craft projects and card making.

Those question marks were supposed to be a smilie face...

Stupid iPhone!

I use them for window cards nd clear cards. You can run them thru an embossing folder too! Give the kids some glass paint and make stained glass. You can make clear books with a cinch or bind it all. I love em!

If you're talking about transparencies, they are great for scrap booking and card making - especially the kind that you can use in a printer.

Are you talking about Mylar or acetate? Is it frosted, and not slick? That's great for colored pencils or chalks.
