They are also popular for sewing supplies, so you might check those kinds of places too.

You also might look into disposable tupperware at the grocery store, Target etc. These are cheap with a press on lid and come in a wide variety of sizes down to little egg sized containers.

I find great little plastic staorage boxes in a couple of places. First is any craft store in the beading section. The storage boxes they have for beading come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The other source I discovered at a rock and gem show a couple of months ago. The small display or storage containers used by rock and gem collectors are very handy for storing and protecting small parts and pieces. In particular are some small round plastic display containers that have nice snug fitting lids and also have foam inserts that I pull out and use for filling cockpits and wheel wells for painting. So if you happen to have a rock shop near by these are also great sources for very useful tools such as tweezers, small files and micro drill bits at rather reasonable prices. All can be found online also. Hope this helps.

Struck out at Hobby Lobby, but I will look later at the others. No rush for me, just one of those "wished I had" not "must have". I am a kind of disorganized person and always look for ways to help my cluttered and chaotic world.

Wal-Mart normally carries those things. Sometimes they are spread between the toolbox aisle and the tacklebox aisle.

Plastic snap lid boxes
Posted by jimbot58 on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 2:36 AM

I used to have lots of those small plastic boxes that are hinged and have a snap closer on the front of it. They are great for all kinds of storage and I can write with a water based marker on the side as to what it contains and stack them on a shelf. They are also good for those small parts that break loose from the sprue in the model box to keep them from getting lost until ready to use.

I used to get them from the hardware store I worked at. They held small plumbing parts like washers and faucett seats. Those days are long gone and I wished I had more. Any Ideas where I might find these now? I saw a few companies on line but they want to sell large quantities only. My one thought is going to be Hobby Lobby.
