I loved the idea you had to cover bottles.It makes them look so pretty.You could use these to hold buttons or any small objects.Back several years ago, I went to the photo shop and asked them for the empty containers that were left after people had their film developed. I now use these for sequins and beads. They really work great for that.Ummm-now if I could make them look pretty!Joyce Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829029971224353550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-51694363145465563192012-03-14T05:57:42.341+10:002012-03-14T05:57:42.341+10:00Love your idea!

Much more creative than my uses, though I often take small glass jars those pricey eye creams come in, wash the labels off and store beads for my crazy quilting in them. There are hundreds of beads in a tube or on a hank, whichever way one buys them, and it's much easier to use them out of the small flat jars. I could stitch something for the lid, though the jar part is usually only about 3/4" tall. I've also put pincushions on top of the round Altoids tins and buttons inside them.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-28085947913473806212012-03-12T05:27:45.086+10:002012-03-12T05:27:45.086+10:00Another fantastic idea!

I think it would help keep the sharp points sharp! (instead of hitting the plastic buttom and getting dull).<br />Take care, LeslieLesQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133424132943634799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-30612885785556216632012-03-08T22:14:51.977+10:002012-03-08T22:14:51.977+10:00A pretty and useful way to recycle.A pretty and useful way to recycle.Abby and Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082914470199247665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-63052748790282973412012-03-08T22:02:38.923+10:002012-03-08T22:02:38.923+10:00Darling, Jenny - I have a few medicine bottles tha...Darling, Jenny - I have a few medicine bottles that I use for pins, etc, but never thought to make them pretty!
