Love those empty containers.Use one to start root cuttings.DH uses them to hold misc.items in his gun case.Great snack carriers.Secure a few together and make a great scissor holder..Too many to list.....

I don't use Crystal Light, but I have saved the Gerber plastic baby food containers with the reclosable lid. They work great for quilting pins and for single spools of thread plus needle and needle threader when you just need one spool to take...I've use them for other purposes as well, but your imagination is the best for finding your own uses for them. Thank you for the idea for the Crystal Light container!

I also used a sesame seed container for holding the small red snapper pieces and some coffee and hot chocolate containers for my wonder clips.
