Storage container – repurposed

Have you ever bought an item for a particular need, then decided against it and. . . . then it just sat there? Well, I have. I bought this container for the purpose of housing my Cricut cartridges. This was when I only had a hand-full of them. Since then, my stock of cartridges have mysteriously grown! Funny how that happens, eh? LOL I’m sure that poor li’l container has been feeling neglected. :-(
Until now! :-)

I just recently bought a Sew Easy Stitcher starter kit. I’m one who likes to keep these li’l gadgets all contained in one place; otherwise, I’d lose them and never find them again. So, this kit has been sitting in its original packaging, awaiting a home. Then I spotted this poor, lonely container. Look at how all the pieces fit so nicely in there. It’s almost like it was “meant to be”.

I only have 4 heads for the Stitcher, so I have one in each compartment; however, the compartments will hold two heads. So this container can house 14 heads and one more Fancy Floss.

Here's the back of the storage unit, which holds the piercing mat and anything else you want to put into there.

The packaging that the single piercing heads came in --- had this on the back of the package. I peeled away at the cardboard(s) until I just had the top image(s). Cut them to size and ATG'd them to a piece of cardboard. Now, I have an "easy to see, at one glance" other ideas for the piercing heads.

I just love it when a plan comes together.
