Recycle A Brick Into Something Useful
Top them with boards and make bookshelves.
Kinda off cuff as I read your question > Keep the brick with holes up. On the opposite side of the holes glue on some kind of FELT or durable fabric. IN the holes, put in a beautiful (but small) arrangement of Dollar Store Flowers and use as a DOOR STOP.. If you want to paint the brick, do so as a first step. This sounds easy and CHEAP since Dollar Store Flower (Ivy and the rest) come in long ropes. Individual flowers can be used, interspersed if you wish.
Paint the brick(s) a base coat of one or many colors depending on your Decor. Then, with a Mandela stencil & using acrylic or "stencil" paint, stencil/paint on each side of the brick...whatever colors you choose, into the stencil pattern of the Mandela. Do not be concerned about continuing the stencil from one side of the brook to another. If you use many colors it will be beautiful. Once done,seal with a poly spray...tp protect your bricks painting. You can use each of these bricks,as a decorative door stop in front of your doors at home.
