Safety Pins storage
#131
I find hte altoid tins are great for all of my pin storage. I use different flavours for different pins. Works great and i always store my saftey pins closed for I think they hold up better then when in a tangled mess open

Mine are in a big old can that nuts came in, unclosed.. I was closing them and then just having to open them again to use, so decided to be lazy and leave them open...if they tangle, just shake a few out at a time...

I leave mine open in a plastic food storage container with a lid so they don't spill all over everything. I only use safety pins when pinning a quilt, I get stuck too much if I use straight pins. And I hate bleeding on my quilts. :lol:

I use a very over stuffed small plastic bowl stuffed with cotton and covered with a couple layers of T shirt cloth. Drawed down tight and tacked to a round board. That way they are always open and not tangled. Sharp point in cotton head outside of bowl for easy access. Potato chip dip bowl works great.
