My grandsons had Nana's purse! And all the goodies inside to play with while she drove. I used a number of containers to make "rattles".
That's cute!!

Think about cutting them in 1/2 - might give you more ideas. If nothing else, elementary school teachers NEED containers like this. Drop them off at an elementary school close by; the teachers will love you forever.

I have been using these too! I am making myself a purse, and made little sleeves for these, then loops to attach into seam of purse. as a hanging pocket inside. I cut them to size to hold sunglasses, cell phone etc that I didn't want to get crushed in my purse, and to make them easy to find.

My husband farmed all his life. I used a similar container for each tractor and truck. In each I put a small note pad and pencil (for "random thoughts", parts numbers, notes regarding types of seed, fertilizer, etc. he was using, a small roll of antacid tablets such as Tums, a couple of foil packets containing Anacin, a roll of Lifesavers, a few band aids along with some wet wipes and alcohol wipes for small accidents, a few sticks of gum, etc. One year I prepared these for Fathers Day for my Drive Inn restaurant customers in small zip lock bags - got some puzzled looks and comments, but later that summer and even yet, we get comments about what a good idea that was!

Guess I'm going to have to start drinking this stuff!!! Great ideas...guess I'm addicted to plastic too, since I will buy something in a re-usable plastic container over the same thing in a box! Right now my 1.5" squares are living in a Belgian Mini Eclairs plastic box next to my sewing machine for enders/leaders :thumbup:

I really love these containers & can't stand to toss them out. On the other hand, just how many can I keep. I'm a great container keeper.
