Reusing Clamshell Bakery Packaging

I sometimes get packaged molasses cookies at the DT. They have the coolest plastic containers that I often reuse.

Here are three ideas for your home that might help "declutter" the end table, work, and desk space.

• I made a coaster just as an example of what you can make or buy that would fit in it.

 
• You can also put in things on the desk, like post-it notes, tape, white-out strips and more.

 
• And in the hardware area of the house, especially in those "junk drawers" that get out of hand, this last tip is handy, too.

Other ideas I didn't have a photo op' for are:

• Leftovers you can slip in a zip lock baggie
• Soap storage
• Catching the drips in the round shampoo and conditioner bottle
• Laundry or bus change
• House and car keys

Can you all think of more things to use them for?
