I like to use little tins that ALTOIDS chewing gum came in, ICE BREAKERS restore mints tins and any other small tins to keep my quilting pins and safety pins in. I have also taken other small tins and made them into needle keepers. I took a "Brighton" bracelet tin that had a "B" on it and lined it with a magnet to hold the needles. I gave it to my daughter because her name begins with "B". I found the tin at a charity sale where they sell all of their tins for usually 25 cents. I love to repurpose.
Thank you
