Disposing of Broken Needles and Pins

Here is a great tip for you: You are sewing along and you've just come across a bent pin or you broke a needle. What is a good way to dispose of those broken pins and bent needles? Well, I'm glad you asked. You know that spice jar with the shaker top that you just used the last bit of basil? Just stick the pins and needles in those nice little holes and screw the top back on. When it is full, you can throw it in the trash without the worry of one of those pins coming through your bag.
