screw hole covers ?

[Str8V8ping]

Anyone have a idea of something pretty and flat that i could use to cover screw holes in a radio shack box to make it more pleasing to the eye . Maybe some craft thing or something. Do they make small screw hole caps or plugs ? I use magnets on the lid so im left with these crappy 4 lid holes. Any ideas ?

Maybe i can cut some small disks out of colored plastic.

what about wooden screw hole covers painted black?

I have an aluminum box like that. I cut the heads of the screws off with a Dremel cut-off wheel and glued them into the recessed area where they sit when used in stock form.

If this isn't the same type of hole (funnel shaped), then you could find some cheap costume jewelry and glue colored stones in there.

Home depot sells the screw covers, looks like they also have plastic in a few different colors:

They also make tapered wooden plugs for counter-sunk screws/

Fill them with a colored silicone?

I've just filled them in with epoxy, plus it keeps the magnets in place

I like cutting the heads off of brass beveled flat head screws and a small drop of epoxy to hold. Magnets on the inside:
