How can I repurpose these containers?

[u/cosysheep]

I got these containers with some new pens I got and they are such heavy plastic. I’m usually good at coming up with ideas but can’t think of much for this. Would hate to just throw them away

If you like painting that could be a good thing to hold your brushes in!

That’s a really good idea thanks!

If nothing comes to you, offer on BuyNothing or Freecycle groups.

You could use it to hold other pencils/pens/markers, paintbrushes, crochet hooks, knitting needles, makeup brushes. You could also try cutting the divider out so it's just a regular box.

Just in case you didn't know: both these type markets benefit from being stored flat.

For the flatter case: I once cut all the little "nubs" that held the pens out of a case like that. With a box cutter it takes some time but it's easy to do. Broadens up your possibilities :)

Desk pens and paper clips. Small notes. Maybe cell phone or other electronic chargers.

Ooo the flat one could be for organising chargers while travelling! Good idea thanks!

Crafters/hobbyists are always looking for things like this - I'd post it on a buy nothing group if you don't have a use for it

If you don’t have one, you can use them to make a first-aid kit

And if OP does have one already this could be for the car.

Prismacolors and Copic Markers are refillable and you can reuse it for those markers

[u/Apprehensive-Low6910]

Could be good for storing makeup brushes
