Default need idea for these

I have alot of these plastic containers that the sizzix dies used to come in. They range in size from the small ones to the big ones that the big red dies came in. I need some ideas on what I could alter these into. I am getting in a craft fair in march. I can't seem to get creative on this one. Please send me some ideas you ladies are awesome!

I use my paper cutter to cut out the front and backs of the containers. I use them with my sizzix dies and make cut-outs. I spray the cut-out images with re-positionable adhesive spray and arrange them as a mask. I use the sponging technique with the mask. It's the opposite of using a stencil. HTH

I actually gave mine to a lady who used them to store punchies in... Ive never seen those plastic boxes altered, If i remember right they didnt stay together they were held together with tape right?

so, Im guessing you will need some kind of a band to hold it together, maybe fill them with gift tags then make cool looking bands either paper or ribbons or both and make them "gift containers" is my best thought, hth

Several years ago I made little christmas gift cards and matching tags and envies and put them in the boxes as gifts. I tied wide ribbon around it to hold it together.

I have several of the original plastic packaging and can't seem to part with them too.

With the large ones I've given away, I have painted and embellished, decoupaged and have put mini-albums in them.

I haven't figured out what to do with the small and medium ones, but would love to see more ideas.

Great question.
