Some more great little containers are the little plastic "tubs" that babyfood comes in these days. They are rectangular plastic containers with plastic lids...I keep binding clips in one, bobbins in one, machine needles in one. I had been throwing them away til I realized they make great little containers for "little things".

I keep an empty 'square' kleenex box for snippits and what nots . Toss it all in garbage when done.. Its the season when we use kleenex the most so I will have a new one before my other one gets too filled up..
I use a glass spaghetti sauce jar to mix and keep my home-made starch.. it already has measurements on it.. just pour each till the lines cover and shake and whoala ! |
i use gum containers too. the one i get has a tab that opens for individual pieces of gum to come out and also has the top that opens.
i have my bobbins in one and some of those ponytail stretchy holders in the other. love them!! |
I use the baby food containers too :) Lots of great hints Thanks
|
I've been saving these and have used them for my safety pins for my quilting & other small items, but I never thought about an I-B trash can! How clever!!

if any one is diabetic, the containers that test strips come in are great for pill bottles, or any other use. They seal really tight by snapping.

I am currently working on several EPP Grandmother's garden quilts & this is so handy for all my scraps.
So, go buy a container of Orbit ( I like the white bubblemint.... I like to chew & blow bubbles as I sew) Happy Sewing....................Donna, The Rustic Quilter |

All clever ideas! Thanks! My hubby gave me an idea how to carry water to use in the small iron when going to classes. I use a small drinking water bottle---already has water in it that is okay for the iron and screw on lid so won't spill and make a mess. (osmosis treated---so okay for the iron) And easy to refill from a gallon size distilled water bottle.

Great idea! I am a container junkie myself. I think I have one of these with another brand of gum.
