    Could paint letters and decorations saying welcome or thanks or any inspirational saying and glue cute pieces on top. Could use for storage or snack containers for kids grandkids husbands or pets. Could use as decorative vases or candle holders.

    depending upon size, they would also make good yarn-tainers; drill a hole in the middle of the top; and put a skein of yarn inside and pull the leading yard out through the top; I would spray paint them or decoupage them, they would also make good containers for coffee tea, flour, sugar, rice, pasta...kitty or doggie treats...

    these are so attractive I would use them on display somewhere. I have a much smaller sized set of spice containers. I keep them on a sort of shelf thing over my d.w. It pleases my eye whenever it falls on them. Your containers are also very pleasing. I would probably store some kind of food product in them.

    If you have the counter surface, stencil tags on them for -rubber bands-twist ties-pens-pencils-pet treats-garlic-buttons-marbles-cloths pins, etc. If air tight use for baking extras such as raisins-craisins-brown sugar-chocolate chips-m&m-powder sugar and put them all in one basket to grab and bake. Roll together plastic grocery bags dispenser through lid. With a hole in the top use to hold yarn. Old fashion flour-sugar-tea-pasta canisters or canisters to give away cookies in.

    Are they metal/or plastic? Stack them on their side, secure with screw side by side and place screws in the bottom to mount to walls (or not) for storing anything like shoes/purses, socks or hosiery or if you cut them down -share them in the garage in the same form for misc items in the garage!
