    Hi Diana, it might be fun to use them as planters for small succulents. You could use plastic drink cups in the proper size to use as liners for the shades, turn them upside down and plant! Also, you could possibly create a centerpiece or side table decor piece roping or wiring them together in some unique design.

    You may be able to convert them to solar lights depending on the size of the shade. I have used the dollar store solar lights without the ground stake and added them to different things. They just have to fit at the top of the shade. Then you can hang them.
