If you're not handy with a paintbrush (I am not), find colorful round coasters that fit inside the bottom and glue them in.

How about this: cut out pictures of family, especially of ancestry love ones long gone and deco them onto the inside of the skillet, be sure to coat over them with more mod podge for protection. I think I'll try this one myself.

Hi Vechel: I agree, you can paint them, but then you can't use them for cooking :) Then, hang them on the wall or the sides of your cabinets.

I've seen a lot of people turn them into candle holders. You can sit a candle in it or melt wax & add a wick to make it into a candle.

I would clean them up, reseason them, then bake something in them and wrap up for Christmas gifts.

I would decoupage the bottom of the back of the pan and hang them on the wall. No more cooking with them, but it could be a very pretty rustic display.
