I save the Tic Tac containers, they have 2 sizes and I put machine needles in them and write the size on top and line up in the front of my machine drawer. I also use ont for bobbin thread when I am putting on the binding just leave a piece hanging out and close the lid when ready open lid and pull thread to thread needle. I put anything in them that will fit. Don't chew gum but might buy a container of the gum and give it away so Ican have a container to take along for hand projects while on the go. Thanks for the idea
