Joye, most would think that they are great dust collectors - but they never stay on the table or shelve long enough to collect - everyone is always picking them up and looking at them - I have used them to put potpuri in but that too - can get dusty - if not tossed often - Hehehehe! I like the candle inside a jar and candy dish idea's the most - I love candles and my Grands enjoy the candy - please let us know what you do with yours, too!!!!
I make them to put potted plants in and give as gifts. Makes the plants look a lot more festive than the paper they usually come in. I also have them arount the house with candles in jars. In the bathroom with guest soaps too.
I made some FSL flowers and arranged them in an FSL bowl, to make a cute centerpiece.
I put jarred candles in them. Also have used them as a pretty change holder or trinkets.
