If I didn’t use these in my kitchen, I might use them for craft supplies. My craft supplies are all tossed willy-nilly into one big box. It would make more sense to have them organized so I can find them easier and protect them from damaging each other.

I think these would be cool for puzzles, that’s if its a puzzle you want to keep, you can take a picture of the box and put it inside the Rubbermaid with the pieces and throw the box away. If the puzzles are smaller you can put them in ziplocs first and store lots of them….Card games, things like Yatzee, dominos, marbles, bunko stuff. I like the look of these, they look very duable and uniform & I like that you can see what’s in them.

I love canisters!
I use them for storing the kiddo art supplies in between projects. Markers in one, sharpened pencils in another- also great for colored pencils and keeping everything in its’ place.

I would use these in the bathroom, under the counter. Stuff like Q-tips, cotton balls, those little soaps and shampoos you pick up while traveling, maybe one for nail polish and things you need for pedicures. For sure, I need to set up his and her travel packs. Lately my husband and I are out of town overnight a few times a month. When one of us leaves we have to deal with making sure we aren’t taking the only tube of toothpaste, or our favorite shampoo. I can have a canister pre-packed for each of us with duplicates of everything we use at home. Toothbrush, paste, Q-tips, band-aids, tweezers, a magnifying mirror, a razor, shaving cream, shampoo, women’s sanitary products, etc. Nothing will be forgotten, and we won’t have to take the time to gather all those items.

I think these canisters would be such a good addition to a home office or craft room. They could hold a million different things….ribbons, adhesives, stickers and keep them all in one spot. I’d totally leave them on my craft table, they are cute!

These modular canisters would be great in a kids room to hold their small “collections” they can’t part with. Everything from marbles and seashells to party favors and trinkets.

Clear canisters make it easy for kids to see what’s inside.

Mom’s appreciate less clutter and an easier way to keep the dust down.

I like buying things in buik, but I hate putting the packaging back in the cabinet, so canisters are great.

I also have pretty jars on my counter for flour and sugar, but the lids don’t really seal, so the sugar’s getting lumpy.

Thanks for the great ideas!
