I have a small box of baby jars. I use them to store my mixed dyes and also use them on the desk when I am painting or dyeing something. Great to have around.

I've been using Propel Fitness Water plastic bottles with the twist top nipple. They are great for the alcohol dyes and the twist top nipple allows you to dispense small amounts. Once the nipple is closed they are spill proof. The dyes don't stick to the plastic and wipe clean with a paper towel. Just be sure you remove the label from the bottle so you don't grab one thinking it's your drink bottle!!! Haven't done it yet but came close a couple of times!

A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!!

I've been using the plastic butter tubs that are everywhere today. I store dye mixes in them and they are cleanable and you can recycle them when they get to funky to clean

My dad nailed a row of baby food jar lids to a board that he nailed under a shelf above the bench. He stored hardware in the jars, and we just screwed/unscrewed the jars as needed. The clear glass made it easy to see what was inside, so there was no need for labels. I've done the same thing with clear peanut butter jars. The pb jars are bigger and my kids eat a lot of it, so I always have replacements.

I've done this with the empty blank CD spindles of 50 or 100 count.

Works great.

I would love to have them as well. When you get more than you need again.

Thanks
