Honestly, I would probably paint them.
If the paint is opaque enough I might leave it at that.
But, of course, once they are painted (either one color or 2 or 3 complementary colors) I would consider them a blank canvas to:
- use markers
- acrylic paint
- stamp
- decoupage
- attach hardware
- attach vinyl or fake wood grain or any other texture (felt, fur, gemstones, whatever floats your boat and goes with your craft room-- I can't tell how sturdy they are, but you might want to make sure they could withstand whatever you are attaching to them and also consider how much (weight-wise) you plan to store in them so that they still function properly).
Really, the possibilities are many!
Good luck and have fun!
