You didn’t say what size the box is. I am kind of anut. If it got out of control, I could be a hoarder. I save the rubber bands that come on celery, asparagus, and sometimes on fresh broccoli. They are thick and great to hold the loops on the loom when making a potholder. I save those tiny rubber bands that come on green onions, and a few times the mail carrier has put giant rubber bands on something he or she is delivering. Plus, I bought a variety package of them. I also save padded envelopes, paper bags with and without handles, the fronts of greeting cards for craft projects. After all, I can’t see the pictures on the greeting card, so, the alternative is to throw them away.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It would be interesting to know what others save to use in future craft projects and do they actually use them, or are they just collecting?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Good luck,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bernice<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>From:</span></b><span style='mso-ligatures:none'> NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, January 1, 2025 11:15 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'List for Blind Crafters and Artists' <nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> carcione@access.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFB-Blind-Crafters] Gluing a lid back together<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I do have bungy cords, but they’re pretty long.
