Suggestions wanted. What can we craft with the empty 35mm film cannisters?
 

What can we craft with the empty 35mm film cannisters, that would be
saleable in flea markets?

Make a small parts revolving rack, much like a paper towel or toilet
paper tube with the tops screwed to the roller with pan head sheet metal
screws. The rack could be of most any length and could be mounted to
benchtop, bottom of cabinet or wall. The "roller" ought be octagonal or
hex around to accept the flat tops.
Identifying parts could be hot glued or whatever to the bottom of the
film cans...

Popguns that use a spritz of binaca breath freshener as a propellant
and a piezo igniter to make the spark.
You fasten the lid firmly to a piece of wood and when the fuel ignites
the canister part flies off a good 20'
(other fuels work, this is training wheels for the potato cannon)

They are sometimes used for winding inductors by radio amateurs and other
people building radios.

On a similar note, the pyro guys fill them with powder and fireworks
stars, attach a timing fuse, seal them and fire them into the air out
of a mortar as a mini aerial bomb.

I've never seen it done, but I'm told that they work pretty good for
the purpose.
