Keep Your Needles Safe Samantha B. of Great Falls, Montana tells how she travels with sewing needles.

I save empty Tic Tac containers from the little breath mints. These small, lightweight containers are a great way to keep your sewing needles handy while traveling or going place to place.

The Tic Tac containers sound like a great way to dispose of bent pins and broken sewing machine needles too. There is no chance of getting stuck while taking out the garbage. If you happen to be diabetic, you can add pins and needles to your Sharps container.
