need ideas

[scrappinsweetie]

hi girls, I have started an altered gatorade cardboard can with a halloween kit that i am going to use for small snacks, but i have a ton of these cans left. help me with some ideas on what to do with them.

Can you post a picture of the can? I'm drawing a blank....

Not knowing what they look like, but could you decorate them and string them together for decorative lantern/banner thingymejigs to hand outside on a tree/bush/porch/fence?

What about decorating them some what similarly and then attaching numbers to the front as a count down to Halloween?

Line them up and instead of numbers spell out a word - spooky, boo, eek, trick or treat, etc.

Decorate them to look like pumpkins and stack them to look like a pumpkin totem pole.

Decorate and then fill with homemade (or bakery bought) cookies and give away to neighbors, family, friends, co-workers.

Take off the lids and turn them into pencil holders for a desk - great christmas presents.

Take off the lids - decorate the outside and then stuff with goodies and use it as a basket. Maybe add a wire handle or some rope. Or put slits in the sides with an e-xacto knife and weave ribbon in and out like this one -
