I have a bunch of these things. What should I do with them?

Well, I use our egg cartons, dryer lint, and old candle wax to make fire starters:

And I saw this "wall garden" and thought it was quite inspiring:

I love the idea with the cans...I've been trying to think of a way to tackle the bare space on my outdoor wall that borders my patio. I love plants and have tons of 'em so that might be the way to go!

Subu - I think it would create an interesting effect to scatter the egg carton cups among the lights...depending on how you display them or spread them out.
