Use for container...?

Post by Shannon Fennell on Sun Jan 03, 2010 12:13 am

So... I like to use containers that I've recycled. And Ferrero Roche always has great containers. I've got tons of the brick shaped ones being used to hold paints in drawers, barrettes and hairpins, etc.

This year I got two of the large square flat boxes of Ferrero Roche... I am sitting here trying to figure out what to do with them. They don't fit in the drawers of my paint storage tower, but they are a really good depth and the lid fits on well...

Any ideas??

Wakka, Wakka, Wakka! Too funny, Jenny.

Store small pots/zip lock bags of glitter?
Keeper for extra feathers/beads/gems that aren't in your kit.
A place to put all your gangsta rap cd's.
A keeper/workspace for making split cakes and supplies for (I use a tray... messy business)

I just realized that I don't know if it's the box that holds 3 chocolates or a whole mess of them.

Well, if my old, achy, pressurized brain is correct, an LP cover is 12x12. Isn't that about the size of your document holders? Storing/transporting the big palattes? Start a scrapbook of all of your accomplishments and keep paper in it. Maybe a place to keep your keepsakes as you are working at the Olympics so they don't get smooshed while traveling. Um.... I'm tapped out.

They COULD work as palettes to hold large cakes - but I don't need them to do that. They are deaper than the document holders I've seen.

Maybe a large split cake for body painting with a 4" brush??

Hmm... but I could create palettes for the individual actors in the opening ceremonies by using velcro dots to affix the individual cakes, and add the brushes and sponges they'll need... hmm... that actually will work... BUT... I NEED MORE BOXES!! Hope the 50% sale is still on!!!

My apologies... Still big time... and I'm sure we all would be glad to eat a few chocolates to support the cause.
