Description
People usually make these inserts for Pokémon TCG accessories, however, the mini tins actually have great dimensions to hold bits and bobs of many kinds.
This particular insert is designed to hold yarn needles, a small pair of scissors (I used the popular crane scissors as a base, so anything bigger may not fit), safety eyes, stitch markers, buttons, thread, etc.; whatever little loose bits you would normally keep close when you're working on a crochet or knitting project. I'm even able to fit in a small measuring tape I happen to have.
I left a bit of a deeper indentation under the spots where you'd place the scissors and yarn needles, to make them easier to pick up.
The insert goes beyond the lip of the tin, this is to ensure the contents don't move around when the lid is closed. I would not recommend adding loose sewing needles, since they will be too thin and move around regardless which could present a hazard: sewing needles need to be kept in an additional sewing needle container.
