Bright White Walls with Red Accents?

Use for Crystal Light Canisters?
You can decorate them and put something with a little weight in the bottom and they make good pencil holders for by the phone or on the desk. Decorating them and cutting a slot in the top makes a cute little piggy bank. Maybe use them to portion out individual...
