You can paint them with a chalky paint or cover them with contact paper if the label does not come off. I use them all the time in the workshop to hold all kinds of small parts.
If you don't create them into something else, please by all means, recycle them properly.
Thanks for the hints!
My hubby always snagged them to use for cookie canisters. We also used them for chips, cereal, snacks - anything that came in a bag that didn't reseal. 6-8 a year I make into birdfeeders. The grandsons have used them for blocks, legos, crayons/pencils and puzzle pieces. Once you take the label off and let your mind wander the possibilities are endless! :) If you still have more than you can use, check with elementary school/church youth group in your area to see if they can use them for art projects or storage.
