I like the way of marking the used needles.

Great ideas. I just threw out all my used needles yesterday because I was frustrated trying to figure them out. Time for a fresh start with your ideas.

I use an ambroidery floss container for my needles too. And I glued a chart that shows what size needle you need for which fabric in the lid.

Both are great ideas. Until I can find an alternate place to store them, when I change my rotary cutter blades, I use a black marker and write "Used" on the blade, that keeps me from using a blade which has gotten dull, as I sometimes use them for cutting batting or other interfacing.

If you want a covered box, do those fabric boxes w/ a lid.

I only wish I could be that organized. I'm lucky to keep all my needles together so I can find them. Great idea.
