How can I upcycle these (pic attached)?
They are made of hard, rigid plastic. There’s no recycling code on them. Any ideas of a new purpose for them before I toss them out?

My first thought was candy molds but 1) I don't know if those are food-safe and 2) if they're rigid you won't be able to pop them out.
Why not treat the underside like a big rubber stamp and use them to create a really fun and colorful polka dot pattern on a wall, floor or a piece of furniture? They might make a nice pencil, crayon or marker holder too.
Hi Ann,
What are they from?
Use for pen or pencil holder if deep enough.
Storing paint brushes for crafts, or crayons, markers, etc.
Check with the ammo manufacturer to see if the plastic is food safe. There is usually someone in the offices who knows.
It's so hot these days, I was thinking they might be good for making small ice cubes for water bottles.
If you sew, and they aren't food safe, use them for the bottoms of bags, trunk organizers or storage containers. I know they are kind of deep (or maybe you could slice them thinly... I couldn't because I don't have the equipment), but it would add stiffness.
Or you could use them for moulds for papier mache, concrete (make garden sculpture of some kind), clay or soap.
Good luck with your reuse.
As a holder for cake pops whilst decorating them or things that are on sticks eg. children's’ party snacks.
Or you could use as stamps mentioned above. Or as a paint palette for a project requiring a small amount of paint. Or what about storage for smudgy pastel crayons?
If used for ammo, they're not food safe! If you can't reuse, maybe you can take them to a gun shop or shooting range and see if they can recycle or return to vendor. Just my $.02.
Just curious... does lead seep into plastic?
What aare those ?
