  4. I’ve used them as mailing tubes to mail small items. Just tape the top well! – Martha S.

  6. Button storage. Candy. Gift tubes. Pens. Snacks, your own mix of nuts. Tons of ideas! – Tamara C.
  7. Make them into crayon/colored pencil containers and even little “banks“. – Mindy H.

  14. I had been looking at those to as a craft project. I was thinking of crocheting a purse using the container as a lining. – Rosalind W.
  15. Pinterest had a couple cute sites linked — one about making Halloween decorations and one for covering to make it a gift box. – Anne B.
  16. I use them to hold my buttons and other small items I use for scrapbooking! I currently have three on my desk. – Cheryl S.
  17. They are a great size to hold some pens. Simply cover with patterned paper or stickers and you’re styling and organized! – Ruth G.
  18. I teach and found they are the perfect size for popsicle sticks, which I use for all kinds of reasons in the class. – Katy C.
  19. They also hold plastic utensils! Would be good idea to take with you on a picnic. You can put them in there dirty too, and easily rinse out afterwards. You could decorate the containers to match you picnic stuff. Or you could let your kids decorate them. :-) I also think they make very cute mini piggy banks. Since they are small they would be good for working towards a fill goal. Like, when the child fills it up, they can go buy a new Barbie, etc. – Melissa B.
