A Little Box for Paper Clips

Old Box.  New Use

My box for pins solved one storage challenge for collections of small things.  This box solves that same challenge for my collection of paper clips.  This box has a sliding lid.  The lid's slanted edges slide into an undercut dovetail inner edge of the box. Of course the box needed a label. When closed it was otherwise impossible to tell what was inside. 

Slid Open

With a coat of tongue oil on the lid the letters stand out better.  The clip graphic doesn't look as good as it did in my CNC software render, but it will do. This box consolidates clips found in three places in my house so far. There is room for even more. Now I just need a specific place to keep this box.   😏
