I save the empty "Breath Savers 3- Hour mint round boxes for my used Offa blades. I use the old blades for ripping out seams, they are still sharp enough for that.
Also I get fresh spinach in the clear boxes and then use them for odds & ends of sewing threads, bias tape, laces scraps for small quilting items or anything that need to be kept together.

I repurpose Altoids container for old needles.

When we have a sew-in we often use coffee filters for our threads and snips so it easier at cleanup time.

Have also used NEW pizza boxes for sorting strips ... and some carefully washed take out containgers.

Looking fwd to hearing more.
