I'm really more of a part time potter than knitter, but for the past
couple of months I've been making some small felted bowls. I'm not
sure what they can be used for, although my daughter-in-law seemed to
like the one I made for her as did my other son's girlfriend.
What would you use them for?
They're at: http://www.amherst.edu/~jkprice/feltingpage.html
They take me somewhere between 2 and 3 hours to knit.

On top of the chest of drawers (or bureau) to hold keys, coins, other
stuff out of the pockets.
In the jewelry box to hold individual items, or a necklace and its
matching earrings.
How small are they?

I've crocheted similar "bowl" shapes, added a strap and a fastener and
made them into purses.

Those are lovely.

Oh, those are pretty, Janet! If they are big enough, you could put a
small flower pot in them. And the other suggestions are great too.
Higs,
Katherine.
PS I can't remember seeing you here before, so welcome!

Are those EVER sweet!
I'm not into felting (yet... too many socks in various stages of
completion) but would LOVE to try this sometime - can you share with us
what pattern you used?
I had the same idea as another - make a moderate-sized one, add a strap
and have a handbag. Tiny ones might end up as cat toys around my
place. I use little teeny ceramic bowls to hold rings, earrings,
coins, so these would do as well. A larger one could replace the cats'
toy basket, which I replace every so often with a new wicker basket as
they also use their toy basket at a toy. An even larger one would
likely end up with a cat IN it around here.
I would use them as gift baskets - put birthday/holiday goodies inside
and wrap in basket-wrap. They could be bowls for wrapped candy on the
coffee table. Roll up a facecloth and toiletries for the guest
bathroom. Dried flower arrangement. Pen-holder on the desk.. or ...
or .. and... or...
Have we tossed enough ideas out there yet?
