Darbla Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have a ton and am trying to come up with a good use for them. Storage of small items is an obvious use, and I already took a bunch to the local dog shelter. I may drill holes in the bottoms and use them for container gardening with herbs on my back porch. Are there any other good purposes or crafts I could put these to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Pinterest always has some great ideas. My in-laws always have those containers handy. After holiday dinners everyone gets containers filled with left overs to take home. I never thought about going fancy-I always throw them into recycling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura C Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 There's just something so neat and satisfying about DIY crafts or projects utilizing recycled items. LOL. Love it, so fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 I saw an idea to paint the outside of the containers, glue a bow on the lid, and write "Merry Christmas!" on the lid (I may use metallic paint). I may try that and fill them with cookies for the office guys. I'm making fire starters for the girls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the perfect size for it! I reuse them for leftovers like soups, salads, meatballs, etc. I also buy pound cakes, cut them up into bit size pieces and freeze them. Then I take out a few bites at a time for snacking. My pound cake bites can stay in the freezer long enough for me to finish the whole cake. If you do that thou first put the bites in saran wrap or a freezer bag then put the bag in the container so they stay fresh.
