Here's a strange one, and I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum, but I know that farmgirls rarely throw anything away, and can find creative or useful ways to recycle things.
I have several of the little plastic tubes that M&M Mini candies come in; in blue, pink, green, red, etc.The tubes are approximately the size of a roll of quarters, and have a snap lid.
Aside from storing quarters (which do fit, and are handy for keeping in the car for tolls, etc.) or buttons, does anyone have ideas for these? I hate to throw them in the trash, it seems so wasteful.
Thanks,
Jo |

Good idea, Ida.
Thanks. I even thought they could be used for vitamins or medications when travelling - color coded by family member, or medication, etc. Would you believe I use one to store all of the puppy teeth saved from my little chihuahua?

How about making them onto sewing kits for traveling. Or use them for waterproof matches or just as a needle case or make a small nail care kit in one or a tiny first aid kit.........

I'm sure q-tips would fit in them too. There's nothing worse than soggy q-tips when travelling.
