You could use it to hold beads.

Water color tray.

I was thinking beads too. I could really use something like that right now to sort jewelery in the drawers of my new dressing table. It could be used to sort other small items.

Send them to a local school - the kids would probably love them for making things out of.

If you have fruit trees, save them to keep you fruit from squashing and getting bruised after you pick it.You’d need a lot though!!

You can store rolled up socks in them, to neaten up a sock drawer.

Try collage/paint or felt tip pens to decorate them and use them to make up fancy gift wraps or pretty displays of soap in the bath room etc.

I keep some from my supermarket shopping days and use them to transport my fruit and veg i need to buy at the greengrocers home. Most of the greengrocers dont use packaging etc so reuse .

Save it for the holidays. If you bake cupcakes or muffins to give away as a gift put them in this type of container, wrap with a festive fabric, tie a bow to keep the fabric in place and there you go.

Styrofoam trays such as those are great for doling out small quantities of paint for kids to create with. Try contacting your local school’s art department. Ours also uses egg cartons and meat trays (well rinsed)

just by itself it seems to be a beautiful found art object.

They make great containers to start flowers/seedlings.
