I don't know how tall, or the diameter but possibly a umbrella holder. Handy for car trunk storage. YouTube can give you a gob more ideas. Have fun.
The pod containers hold may be a quart of liquid, some are a bit smaller, some taller. I use them for left over stew. After the containers go thru the dishwasher.

Just be aware that due to how these plastic containers are manufactured, it is often impossible to completely remove the scent of the soap pods. The scent will eventually transfer into whatever you are trying to store inside them.

I use a lot of recycled containers to hold craft supplies. I remove the labels then add chalkboard labels available in the craft store. If they have a design on them just give the containers a quick coat of spray paint.
