    they are good for storing nails screws and small objects in mark on the outside of the container what is inside.

    Besides using for storage you could make them into a snowman by adding felt or black buttons for the eyes and mouth. Cover the lid with black felt. For the top of the hat cover an empty can that mushrooms or diced peppers come in (depends how tall you'd like the hat) with felt or spray paint black. Put a ribbon around the can where it touches the frosting lid. Now you have a give away container for Christmas baked goods.

    I just googled uses for empty frosting containers you could do the same for inspiration. I thought this ideal was cute, & could be modified for whatever holiday or just anytime really. http://thecraftingchicks.com/2010/12/mini-topiaries-mini-banner-using-old-book-pages.html

    I spray painted some with red/white stripes, filled with candy and gave them at Christmas. They're good for portable snacks or for keeping snacks in the room next to your chair. Just think portion control ! Spray paint, poke holes , use the top as a dish for your new plant pot.

    They make great organizers for storage. Also they work great in the bottom of a shallow drawer to organize your junk drawer.

    If you have more containers than projects, why not donate them to a local elementary school? They would have plenty of uses for them.
