Empty cones of yarn?

 Empty cones of yarn?

What do you do with the empty cones after you have use up the yarn?  

Here's what I did.   I used 6 empty cones. I found a pattern for jar covers and changed it to fit over the cones. I used 3 for the largest one. 2 for the red one and 1 for the green one.
