Recycled K-Cup Halloween Lights
Those are actually really good for mixing small amounts of paint in.
I use those to sort small beads, findings, and bits of 'whatevers' for different projects that I happen to be working on. When I am done for the day (or the week), I just stack them together (with the beads, etc. still inside) until the next session with an empty on the top as a lid to keep the dust (or cats) out of my stuff.
I LOVE the bird feeder idea with the old CD attached to the bottom...if only I had a tree or something to put it in!
Use as shades for small string lights.

I use mine to serve snacks for my grandchildren.....they love it.
I think if you paint them with translucent paints. Then cut them into flowers. Then put a hole in the bottom and push led lights into them.
so great for leftovers!!!! you can see through them!!!
They are good to use when coloring Easter eggs. Also very good to transplant your vegetable plants into, I start mine off in egg crates first.
