After I make a block or sew a seam, I am at my ironing board, pressing and trimmin threads. I had no place for the snips and they ended up on the floor. No more!!! I finally got "wize"!! Now I take a Wal-Mart bag and stretch one handle over the end of my ironing board so now all the snips go in there. It can be taken off easily so you can use the ironing board for ironing your clothes etc.
