Does anyone have good ideas of what to do with the empty large plastic wipes cases. The ones that hold like 80 wipes. I hate to just throw them away but somethimes they are cheaper than the refil bag. I already have hair accessories in one and belts in another but I have like 4 more.

What can I do next?

Here's some ideas that I've used them for! Crayon box, trash box for the car and small puzzle box. I've also used it to store baby socks in a drawer. You'd be amazed at how many matchbox cars can fit in one. This one comes in really handy: I've made a baby emergency supply box with it. You can fit 1-2 diapers, a snack baggie with baby wipes in it, a sample size diaper cream, formula packets, a sample size lanolin cream (if you breastfeed). This always stays in your car. There's been more than one ocassion where I thought my diaper bag was all set to go, only to find out that I was missing something. So it's perfect in a pinch. I also make a mommy version for the car, too. Tampons, pads, breast pads, hair ties, extra underwear, toilet paper, tissue, gum/mint, lotion, lip balm. You can also make your 'emergency kit' for your desk at work. And make first aid kits for each bathroom.
At one time, I think I had about 11 all over the house. You can decorate them really cute if you are artsy!

The possibilities are endless! Have fun!

My daughter (age 10) still has some from when she was a baby, for holding art supplies (markers, crayons, pencils, etc). They're also good for small doll accessories, or anything else you just want to keep in one spot.

Keep one in your car just in case someone is feeling sick. It makes a great throw up catcher. Sounds gross but saves your upholstry if you can't pull over fast enough.

You could donate them to a preschool - and I do believe they are recyclable (at least where I live) - so instead of putting them in the trash, at least put them in the recycling!

I read this in a magazine: fill it with plastic grocery bags and keep it in the car to collect trash.

I put plastic grocery bags in one & put it in the car for trash! I got the idea off of tv. One of those organizer shows. I would've never thought of it myself.

I read once in "hints from Heloise" that people use those to hold the plastic bags from the grocery store. It is a great way to keep them contained and you can remove one at a time. Now you are down to three.
