Have you ever?

Have you ever realized that you've thrown away something that you could have used for soap making and your heart sank?

I thought about digging through the trash but I don't want it that bad.

lol

Not in a soaping instance but in general yes. I told myself it was just stuff.

I discovered that cheese it boxes would make great storing containers. lol

Rosey: My husband was throwing out an empty cd storage case the other day (they look like a mini round cake container) and I pulled it out of the trash can and said, wait, I can use that for something. I thought I would make a little soap gift with it. It could hold 2 or 3 standard bars, a number of sample bars or soap balls. The lid is clear plastic, so I think it would look pretty. I can dress it up with bows or ribbons. If nothing else, it looks like it would be perfect for a travel cheese ball container.

It's great to make use of things that would end up in the trash. I have saved some plastic boxes that contained Ferrero Rochet Chocolates and they fit the small bottles of fragrance oils very nicely. :wink:

They are also very handy for storing the twist up tubes of lip balm

I just remembered something that I DID NOT throw out.

About 10 years ago was using little vials of cosmetic stuff that keeps you young forever *smirk* and kept the empty vials (dozens of them). These are about 2.5ml glass with a leak proof plastic lid. I wondered why the heck I couldn't throw them out.

They are now coming in so handy for testing essential oil blends in so I'm feeling just a little smug. :wink:

The torture we have to endure just for the sake of getting nice storage containers...........but well worth it.

I love the fact that they are transparent so it is easy to see what is stored in them.

Velveeta boxes make great log molds.

Just sayin'

I keep thinking there MUST be something I can do with those yellow bottles from Soapers Choice but so far I've come up empty. I just had to recycle a bunch.
