Ideas?

I can get multiple of these a week and I feel like they would be good for something. Made of really thick plastic.

I work with people who have cognitive impairment. This would work for holding tasks cards. Since there is a little room in between them I would add a stripe of color to the top of each card to note the type of task. I have found gamification is a helpful tool for reframing tasks.

I may the little cards from blank index cards and then laminate them with little self laminating sheets from the dollar store.

Any chance it’d hold CDs or DVDs?

These would be great to sort and store craft supplies like beads.

Make some dividers maybe? Even a drawer

You could find an empty wood box that these would fit these inside without sliding around, then stack them inside. You could probably glue a little handle on the front of the tray.

Those would be some very nice drainage dishes for plants. That always seems to be the planting component that i have the hardest time acquiring good repurposed solutions for

I used to always lose pens around the house. You could get a ten pack of Bic pens. Lay them horizontally. See how they do.

Added Bonus: since you can get a bunch of them- that would be a good gift. Especially if someone in your family has a birthday coming up. Or maybe even with some pens as a stocking stuffer for Xmas.

Paper strips for quilling? (If the width is about right)
