While were on this subject, what or how can i do a crystal light container, have a bazillion of them.

I use the crystal light containers to carry to a class with small scissors, seam ripper, thread, etc in. They are handy and don't take up much room.

That gum container reminds me of the toothbrush covers used for traveling. Drill a hole in the bottom for the toothbrush handle to go through. NOt sewing related, I know.
