Seeing that photo in the post above makes me wonder if they couldn't be used for seed storage. Looks like they might work for needle storage too.

As a retired RN, I can tell you they make great disposal containers for used (dull) sewing needles. I keep an empty vial in my sewing table drawer. it's easy to get them in and I assure you they won't come out!

If you were looking to get rid of them, my Mother in law is in a miniatures guild...they are always crazy clever using little things like that. I would take some off your hands and I could give them to her to see what she would come up with!

I use my empty testing strip bottles for used needles, buttons,bobbins and a lot of sewing misc. The caps are tight fitting and I just use my label maker to let me know what's in them.

Send them to me. I use them for arts and crafts. Ray
