Think Out of the Box when it comes to Storage

When we have something to contain, the first impulse (at least for those of us who love organizing) is to go out and purchase a new container. Sometimes you find the perfect container right at home. Here are a few ideas of containers that work better than some of the options you can find in the stores, not to mention repurposing them is environmentally friendly.

I love to use Tic Tac containers for tiny things that need to be gathered and they also really save on space because they're tall and skinny. Here is an example of the two different types of Tic Tac containers  I use.

 Another I found on Pinterest is this one using Tennis ball canisters for craft supplies. 

 What are some other containers can you repurpose for innovative storage solutions?
