Delores explains how she stores her spare needles, recycling in the process. She writes, "I am a diabetic and test my blood sugar. The containers that my testing strips come in are the perfect size to store extra cross stitch needles and keep them safe in my tote bag I take when I go places. The top snaps shut tight and keeps
them in good condition. A good way to recycle when I finish a container of strips."
