you can use these as molds for making little gift baskets. using the paper-making technique (seen elsewhere on this site and easily findable online), use these instead of the flat screens typically used to make paper.

You could use them to strain latex paint, although they look pretty small. If you connected it to some sort of funnel (say an old detergent bottle with the bottom cut out) you could use make use of clumpy paint

Use them to shape soil pellets for starting seeds.

Add a lot of water to some soil, press the soil into the sieve, the water will run through and then pop the pellet out.

If they were cleaner, I’d suggest you hand them to kids to play kitchen with.

I use an old one to skim off the green plant growth that chokes my small pond in the summer.

Depending on how fine the netting is, kids could use them when fishing in rock pools.
