Tiny sewing kit made from a discarded chewing-tobacco tin. Well, the lid is metal and the bottom is plastic, so I guess it’s not technically a “tin” but I still feel like calling it that is most accurate.
The holes around the outside of the circle, I drilled in order to add fine wire which could then serve as a scaffolding for weaving a design out of embroidery floss, beads, etc. That still might happen, but for now, I decided I would rather just paint the lid with a design indicating that it’s a sewing kit.
There are so many kinds of cute little containers that can be turned into mini sewing kits. Those itty-bitty mint tins; one of those is one of my favorites. And the clear plastic “hinged” containers used for a large pack of sugarless gum are another good one.
To tuck into purse or bag for emergency repairs (mine or someone else’s); or give to people who want them. And I keep one in each main work area or common area in the house.
