Please give me your ideas on what you fill them up with?

I wondered how they would look for a childs dessert table filled with lollies - or tacky?

I'd fill them up with flour that comes in paper packets! Or rice or pasta or powdered milk etc etc..... Not exactly crafty though. If not food I guess I'd use them for small toy parts (k'nex, marbles).

They are my canisters in the pantry... they are refilled with anything you coud imagine!

I also use them for the kids pens/pencils etc.

I buy from a shop that lets you scoop your own flour, grains, legumes etc

Then transfer it to my containers when I get home.

I also have one as the button container

Ditto. We use them for flour, sugar etc.
I also have a few with craft stuff in them.

Thanks for the ideas. I buy pasta in the plastic containers at times and refill those, same as sugar.

Buttons are a good idea and small toys when he is older. I might put my scraps of fabric in one.
