Great idea!! Thank you for sharing :-)

I use them to store plastic bags in various rooms for a number of uses. It is also a good place to store plastic bags cut into plarn (plastic yarn). Also makes a great thread repository sitting or hanging close by your machine or cutting table. Put a small hole in the bottom of the box, hang a hook in an appropriate spot and you have a convenient trash receptacle.

Great ideas ladies! Can't wait to empty a box now! When I was a kid, I used to cover empty kleenex boxes and use them in my room for various things...forgot all about that. Wonder how much more I've forgotten...LOL,LOL

I did the same, but am really liking the tissue box idea.

Great ideas!

We all have colds here, lingering (3 of us). Threw out 3 boxes just in the last week. Will save the next one.
Thanks for all the great (free) ideas.

Super idea....thanks!

I love it! Thank you dear Quiltingboard Friends! This is a fantastic idea.

I use them for plastic bags. I also tape one of the square ones to the platform my sewing machine sits on. The cat likes to 'play' with stuff that is on the platform, and with the clear plexiglass, she can see a lot. She takes stuff or knocks them off into the wastebasket never to be seen again. I have lost too many seam rippers, buttons, skewers, etc., and know that they went into the wastebasket. So... I tape a small box to the edge of the platform, and have found the said above list in the box. Without the box... in the trash.

I like all the ideas for using the empty kleenex boxes.
As far as binding goes, I use an empty toilet paper roll. I saw this little thing on a website where you roll the binding around and put it around your neck. When I press my binding, I tape one end to the empty toilet paper tube and keep
winding it and secure with a straight pin. When I am ready to put the binding on, I put a string/ribbon through the tube and place it around my neck. It comes off the roll perfectly. The only thing to remember is when you make your string to go around your neck to make it long enough to get it off or you are attached to your quilt until finished. Had this happen to me the first time I did it.
