It depends on the size for what you may use them. You could string them with small beads between them and paint them for different seasonal uses: red, white, blue for patriotic events; orange & black for Halloween; add faces for snowmen in the winter. Put 2 on a stick, on top of each other, and make a snowman pic to add to winter wreath or floral arrangement. Wrap in twine for centerpiece balls.
You can include them in many craft projects or use for unique decor such as wraping them with different colors of yarn and placing in a large bowl, decoupaging sheet music or other pics onto them, painting them with acrylic craft paint, making Christmas tree decorations. Paint with acrylic paint and glue on decorative marbles/beads, etc. Sadly, they never ever disintegrate, so it's good you're trying to reuse them in some way.
Do you have small children. If so make an ornament day. Bring in all kinds of paper, adhesive dots foam sheets and let them go wild. When done, store it in a nice box an bring it out at Christmas. New ornaments with wonderful memories making them.
