What could I fill martini shakers with other than liquid? I'd like to use them as centerpieces. Here is a pic of them, in case anyone didn't see them in the original thread.

I have those and these little plates to put candles on. The plates will probably be three to a table placed around the martini shaker.

I know, I'm a twit for ordering a whole batch of this stuff without being entirely sure what I was going to do with them. Here are some paper cocktail napkins I'm using, I thought the color scheme could kind of come from there...I'm using mostly neutrals (beige and brown) and only small splashes of color.

So, yeah. Ideas?

What about green olives?

Kumkuats (sp--- the fruit, their small and orangy)

Colored sand?

What about pictures?

I think green olives would be cute and they would match but I don't think it would be to good for a wedding.

I like the sand idea. If you want to make your own "sand" (for a cheap price) just get a foam bowl, pour a bunch of salt and start swirling colored chalk into it, eventually they'll "blend" and the salt will turn the same color as the chalk.

I had my brownies do it when i was a scouts leader and each person would be in charge of a different color and they made their own sand art. If you have kids around, its a great way to keep them busy.

How about rose petals?

Rose petals sound nice

I like the idea of fruits. Like a layer of fake ice cubes with halved limes and lemons on top?

sand art? LOL

long strips of different colored card stock with pop-culture trivia questions on them

white lights and opalescent cellophane, actually any colored cellophane

white lights with colored glass gems

"dime store" candies from the era

colorful stirrers (glass with pretty colorful crap on the ends)
actually, those really pretty lollipops that are all glassy looking and usually come individually wrapped in clear plastic bag with a curling ribbon around it - a bunch of those would be even better.

KIND OF like these:

but ones that look more like wands, with clear sticks and prettiness

But these are really cool looking too:

Ooh or even a bunch of these:

the plastic "ice cubes" but in spheres instead
