Remember how Mary Corbet repurposes plastic Q-tip boxes as storage for those Tulip needle glass vials?

Sheena has discovered plastic chewing gum boxes that are even taller, and work well for Kreinik spools and tubes of beads.

It's fun to be able to reuse items that are meant as throwaways for travel as organization tools at home.

With the help of Google, I also found a needlepoint picture turned into a smashing pillow.

Not that handy with a needle yourself? Natasha's will turn those old needlepoint belts into key fobs.

Labels:
repurposing,
vintage
This article gives new meaning to "vintage" as the writer takes needlepoint stitched long ago and makes it up into useful items for the descendants of the original stitcher.

Thanks to Kreinik for pointing this out!
