What can i make with those glass Gu pots?

mramoeba

Do you know the ones, glass pots which the packs of two gu deserts come in? I Hate throwing them away but there are only so many tapas bowls you can use! Ideally i want to make something to put in them as gifts but i can't see any useful lids anywhere, and i dont know if they would stand the heat of candle wax poured in. Does anyone have an idea what to use them for or some good crafty ideas?
Thanks

I make candles in mine, I use the soya wax that doesn't cause fumes, you can buy it on amazon

I paint mine and use tea lights in them. Glass paints work best.

I use tea lights in mine. They look really pretty dotted about the garden on summer evenings.

I'll say it, I can't be the only one that uses them as ashtrays!!!! Especially when the oh has friends round for the boxing etc!

DIY air fresheners. There's a "recipe" in the "Thrifty Ways ..." book.

Or another dessert. Fruit fool or a chocolate dessert springs to mind. The recipes for both are available if required.

Ah, more puddings, that would be appropriate! Some good ideas for which i thank you all. Will google glass paint...

Creme brûl!e, HM pât!, mini jam pots with pretty fabric lids? My kids have often used them when painting when they were little too by decanting paint from those huge squeezy bottles. You could use them anywhere you'd need a ramekin basically x

I use them as mini crumbles - they're just about enough for a small pud to have with ice cream that way. I've also used them for homemade chocolate mousses and individual cheesecakes.

And yep, when we've had barbecues I've used some of them as ashtrays for the smokers. Not for puddings after that though

I use these and there brilliant, - you can buy the pens singulary, but there between £2 and £4 a pen, - theres about 3 different colour ways.

They'd look beautiful as tealight holders, xx

I took a load down to our church hall-we use them for tea lights when we have a supper and for jam and cream if we do a cream tea in the summer
