Grannie, I like your idea the best - repurposing something that would otherwise be disposed of. I've begun saving all sorts of containers - my husband is sure I've gone over the edge but he's beginning to see the light.

I had a little flat cardboard and plastic that the water additive Mio is displayed in I wanted to keep but I didn't rescue it from my cart and the checker tossed it. Just think how well that little 1" deep box would have fit in a shallow drawer? I didn't know what I would have used it for but it would have been perfect for my needle supply. Next time I'll save it :-)

Not only do I keep things out of the landfill, I keep $$$ in my wallet for fabric :-) :-) :-)
