Answer 1

I made a Santa candy container once. I took an ice pick and punched a hole in the center of the lid. Then I took a styrofoam ball, and make a hole through it, and inserted a pipe cleaner, twisting it at the top so it couldn't pull through. Then I made a Santa hat for it out of felt, with a white cotton ball on the top, and glued it on the ball, used sequins for eyes and mouth, and glued a cotton beard on it. Then I inserted the pipe cleaner through the lid, and taped it down so it wouldn't come loose. I cut arms and legs out of a single layer of red felt, mittens out of white felt, and boots out of black. I glued the pieces together, and then I glued them onto the sides and bottom of the jar. For Santa's belt, I glued a black strip of felt all the way around the jar and decorated it with a yellow felt buckle. When all was dry, I filled the jar with Christmas candy and set it on a shelf with his legs dangling down. Very cute, a good Girl Scout project.

Answer 3

You can cut up small photographs and put them on the outside covered with wide clear tape so they look laminated, and then fill the inside with pretty sand, shells, candy or cocoa mix.

Answer 4

You could paint the outsides and turn them into votive candle holders, or do sand art inside them, or fill then with M&Ms and wrap in cellophane and ribbon and donate to a women's shelter.
