I just love these mini jars for organizing my hoard!

and an Etsy buyer loves them too for all the little things you don't want to get lost from jewelry to stamping.
I also use them for sorting all kinds of embellishments from bells, beads, rocks, wiggly eyes, buttons and shells, etc! I love to sort and usually use them to sort by size or color. I have several art projects going at once, so I usually keep them organized in little boxed kits and inside these kits are these jars of embellishments.
For example, I keep my mini origami paper, gold thread, needle and bells sorted by color in these containers and usually make my mini hanging origami cranes for garlands and gift toppers while I get my daily Vitamin D sitting outside or watching our latest show on netflix.

I just love these plastic jars and use them often when I find a box of mixed junk to sort while I'm dehoarding. These smaller 1 oz jars are the ones I use most often for bead embellishments, especially beads on thread because I can just use the lid for a few without losing them or losing track of them.

I also use them to send gifts through the mail or in care packages when I don't want something cute and small to get lost in a larger package.

We have several quilters and teachers in the family and I often make them little sewing kits with these containers, as you can see a little spool and thread, buttons, needle threader and needle will fit inside for those little emergencies.

Saying Goodbye: I reuse these from project to project and keep my own stash ready to organize on the days I dehoard.

What I Learned:
1. I am so happy that others love to use these too and find them so handy! Many Etsy buyers have also told me they use them to hold samples of their cosmetic products and paints for crafting, but I do not know how waterproof or spill proof these actually are because I do not use them to hold liquids.
2. I am partial to any clear container and recycle almost all clear food containers to hold my various projects and keep them organized.
Do you think perhaps I'm hoarding clear containers? I don't think so because I am recycling and it's helping me organize my life rather than disrupting my life. Although I do not like the thought of having to throw them away. Hmm....

Thank you kinda Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore
for taking the time to send me a few words of how you use your containers. I always find it comforting to find something common with a non hoarder!

I
am working on my dehoarding
goals and am starting to new list and relist at each shop! My goal is
to list 200 items on each shop again! I am challenged with Etsy's new
listing formats and also I'm getting used to a new computer system, so
the listing is happening slowly, but surely!
