Old film canisters

I used to have so many of these film canisters in different uses.

  • I used to keep buttons in them. Each colour had a different canister, labelled outside with my trusty Dymo.
  • Used to hold safety pins
  • Pillbox
  • Jewellery holder. Rings in one, earrings in another, chains in yet another (lots of knots though!)
  • Used to hold screws and nails
  • Waterproof matchbox
  • Mini sewing kit
  • Used to hold nose pieces, tiny screws and mini screwdriver for my glasses
  • Coin holder
  • Fishing supplies (during the brief period in my teens when I was fishing mad)
