Recycling your Brads/Buttons Containers

Do you have lots of those little plastic brad/button containers.  Have you kept them, but don't know what to do with them?  How about recycling them?  I saw this idea recently and I just LOVE this idea.  Excellent containers for little goodies.  Want to give someone a quick little gift?  Just decorate up one of these little containers and fill it with candies, little gifts!!  What fun!!

Here's some I did recently – then I will give you a quick tutorial on how to recycle these cute little containers!
