Found Items as Notions: Wine Bottle Gift Box for Needle Holder

I discovered that the round tubular gift boxes designed for giving bottles of wine, vinegars, etc. are the perfect size for knitting needle storage. I got mine for one dollar and they are available in a variety of colors and styles. They take up a small footprint and can be combined for a decorative effect should you want to use more than one for organizing. The wine bottle size gift bags would work if you preferred a soft pouch rather than the box. These are usually found at dollar stores or inexpensive when bought on clearance sale after gift giving holidays.

An even more frugal option would be to reuse pasta boxes (from linguine, fettucine, etc.) recovered in fabric scraps, pretty paper, or even a decoupage of magazine cutouts. These could be layered in a drawer if you did not want to leave them sitting out.
