Q-tips Earbud Case

You all know I like to re-purpose things.  Ummmm.......does the animal crackers container turned brass bear lamp rings any bells?  ;)  I'll admit I can get a little cray cray about re-purposing things that most might just throw away.  I think deep down I'm a 90 year old woman who doesn't like to throw containers away - it's a borderline sickness - but I don't plan on seeking treatment.  

So when I saw that Jen repurposed the travel sized Q-tips container as an ear bud case I think my crazy- container-hoarding-head popped off!  My sister-in-love got me addicted to having a travel sized pack of q-tips in my make-up bag at all times.  They really do come in handy for so many things.  When I finally used the last one I put Jen's awesome idea to use.

I was able to get both my ear buds and usb cable in there!  Woot   - no more loosey-goosey wires in my desk drawer!

I just used a little piece of card stock and some washi tape to make a label.

I'm kind of embarrassed to tell you just how ridiculously happy this makes me.  There is something so gratifying about reusing something that would have gone in the trash.  And I never would have thought to try this if I hadn't read Jen's awesome blog!

Have you repurposed any containers lately?

I'm linking up with my girl Courtney - she's having an organization partay!  Even these little itty bitty steps towards an organized life count right?!
