Repurposed golf item - ideal for small storage
 
1 Attachment(s)
If you happen to know an avid golfer, ask about the little plastic boxes that cleats come in. I just discovered that my DH has been tossing them in the recycle bin. They're clear plastic, close securely and have a neat little hanging loop on them that is useful if you have a pegboard, or could be cut off if you just want to put them in a drawer. They're big enough to hold quite a few bobbins or other little things. I appreciated the fact that the labels even peeled off easily. The brand name was Pulsar, but I think there are other kinds that are similarly boxed. Just thought I'd pass along a little heads up.

The only person I know who golfs is also a crafter - bet she uses them already! Darn.

Those look awesome. I love anything that can hang on my pegboard and not contribute to the jumble on my tables/counters/floor... My FIL is a golfer. I might have to hit him up for a few of these.

They are great for holding binding clips-the hair clip kind.

I'll have to find a golfer :).

This does not pertain to quilting but; you can use the old golf bag to stand your yard tools in; upside down with handle in the bag. Like rakes, shovels, hoes, etc.

Thanks for this idea, now I need to find a golfer.

I am an avid golfer & even I, didn't think of that. What a great idea !!!

I don't know any golfers, but I love containers of any size! I'll have to check with some of my friends to see if they golf. haha Thanks for the info and picture.

Neat idea, just sent a text to my brother. I was fussing just last night about misplacing my small templates that do not have a hanging hole in them. Thanks for sharing.

Now that's what I call being resourceful !! Neat idea, will have to ask friend hubby to save his for me!

You could always ask anyway. Maybe she never though about it either.

LOL! Someone's in danger of being a hoarder, like me!

rilene 09-07-2013 03:02 PM

Great little containers!

kathymarie 09-09-2013 04:17 AM

.....oooohhhh....I just asked DH and he's been doing the same thing....but no longer! Thanks for sharing....

annievee 09-09-2013 02:42 PM

Love to multi-purpose items and this is a great one !

catladyquilts 09-30-2013 01:02 PM

Quilters are so creative in their storage ideas. Great idea.

gramma nancy 10-02-2013 04:26 PM

What a great idea. You are so right -- everything destined for he recycle bin (or trash!) needs to be assessed for its potential as storage. Some of the best ideas come that way.

debbieumphress 11-02-2013 06:43 PM

My BIL and NP'3 dh both golf. I'll be asking them about those cuties. never have enough storage....Especially now that my dd is quilting and coming to my retreats....my project boxes tend to go away....:)
