Is it just me or do others also feel a weird reluctance throwing away interesting bits of packaging? Boxes, tubes, warded molded styrofoam, plastic spacers... I always feel like I should do something with them. Like junky little projects.

What interesting thing can I do with some strong cardboard tubing? Besides mail posters or build a telescope? I have 3 pieces between 2-3 feet each and 3” inner diameter. It was a single large 7 foot tube I broke up to recycle but now I feel like I should do something with them

My giant box full of altoids tins says yes. I did manage to turn eight of them into a mega pill organizer but I'm still a bit stumped on what to do with the other 600. All the "hacks" I find are for things I don't really need...

What I really want to do is an electronic version that you can program to open the right tin at the right time but I need a partner with the manual dexterity to do the wiring stuff. I originally did this because most days I can't open pill bottles XD
