What's the best way to dress up LED Throwies?

I'm interested in decorating my house with LED Throwies, but I can't think of a way to hide the battery/magnet assembly.  Does anyone have any (preferably cheap) ideas on how to add any sort of elegance to the body of Throwies without sacrificing the magnetic quality?

Burf and Alex had great ideas.

Are you looking to camouflage it? Just wrap it in scotch tape and paint the tape the same color as the house.

Make some paper doll style clothes (Christmas elves,fairies?) and hot glue them to the battery.

My wife suggested you cut out pictures from magazines, wrapped gifts, toys, etc. and glue them to the throwies.

If you're not putting them on steel surfaces, you don't need the magnet, which means you have less to hide.
