The little ones you can clean up a bit, and fill with water, freeze them. When they are frozen punch holes in a pattern with a nail (being careful of course) and then let the ice in it mels, and you have a punched tin votive candle holder. Just always set it on a base of some kind as it will get hot if you actually burn the candle in it. If you like recycling and making things with recycled stuff go to http://www.craftster.org/ and click on the "enter the forum" button and scroll through the catagories they have a great recycling crafts category, you don't have to sign up to read all the posts but you can sign up if you like it's free.

I made some lanterns out of different size cans.
Fill and cans with water, and freeze.
Then take an pokey tool ( these are pointed on one end, and flat on the other) take the frozen cans of water out of the freezer and grab a hammer and pound designs around the can. Just dry out and put votive candles in the bottom and light. I used a funnel for the tops and hung with wire. These are really cute. You can make all sizes. Hope you try it.

Use them to start little seedling trees. Then plant them. Then watch the air get cleaner, the water more pure and the earth cooled by the shade! YOU CAN SAVE THE PLANET!

Can't you make "phones" with them using thread (or some other string) and either toothpicks or matches?
