I would say cut them, if they're not too hard.
I have also been trying to make something to hold post and keys.
Basically copying this;
as requested by mrs_com
I don't think I've done too badly. She specced a single compartment without the front scoops.
I don't have a big enough hole saw so I convinced her that a small shelf would be more practical than a jar holder.
It would have been more accurate if I had a chop saw and/or table saw but it's pretty close for the first outing of my £40 ALDI circular/death saw.
It will be filled, sanded, sprayed with white primer then a light blue top coat.
Fixing to the wall by drilling a hole in each of the top corners then brass screws straight through with brass cup washers.

Making a little post tray out of brass and a strip of larch which I'm planning to wall mount in our hall.
I had planned on using concealed shelf fixing brackets like these to fix it to the wall as I don't want to see any fixings (the larch is glued to the brass using some very strong glue):
But the shortest I can find are 65mm long, and my larch profile is 21 x 38mm. So the 12mm diameter isn't a problem but 65mm is far too long - I really need 30mm.
Any better ideas than buying a pair of 65mm brackets and cutting them down?
