Dee Toomey on Jul 03, 2014I instantly saw picture frames also. But you could use them as ...meal trays. I know...not very original, but I sure would use some as meal trays!Helpful Reply

Joffler on Jul 03, 2014I like Mitziblueyes' idea. Back in my college days, I had a friend who had one of these--just one--and she kept it on a little table where she had jewelry organized on it. So, if you have a Sihoutte machine (my wife Silhouette's the hell out of everything -- but I have to admit we have the most awesome mailbox on our street) or are talented with paints, you could make a few to sell/auction or gift. I imagine one could use them similarly for a variety of small table/counter top objects like make up, art/craft supplies--i could use one at Christmas time to organize small parts when I'm assembling "assembly required" toys.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jul 06, 2014I'd keep a few and donate the rest to a school for art classes, or early grades projects. Teachers are very good at using donated items for creative purposes..Helpful Reply
