Need craft ideas for misc surplus packaging

Hi All~ This is my first time posting, although I've visited from time to time and have enjoyed seeing all the different craft projects. You are a very talented group! I need a little inspiration. I'm fortunate enough to work at a company that buys and sells surplus packaging. When a full lot sells or an item is delisted, the samples in our sample room are left for recycling. My company allows me to take what I want for my craft projects. It's fairly easy to come up with something for bottles and jars, but what about caps, collapsible tubes, lotion pumps, fine mist and trigger sprayers, foamers, tins, aerosol cans, mascara brushes & lip wands etc? I hate to see them all go to waste. Any ideas on what I can use them for? There's tons of miscellaneous items that do not fall in these categories, but too much to mention here.

I'll be looking forward to your posts!

There has to be something you can use them for. Tins, depending on size and if they have lids, christmas package or cookies. lip wands for painting? I know how you feel about throwing away something that maybe there is a use for it. I will keep thinking. good luck. snoozzin

When you get a chance,I'd like to see a detailed list (I really enjoy trying to figure out how to reuse stuff!) What type of company do you work for? You can email me if you like...
