Friend, the world need not be governed by utility: just enjoy the act of making things.

For your dime.

Hehe you might not work with small objects a lot! I have several little baskets, bowls and pottery pots about this size. The ones I can see right now contain my enamel pin collection, my hair accessories (bobby pins, clips, etc), my rings, and my earrings. I also have a little bowl for safety pins and another for wonder clips since I do a lot of sewing. This size could also scale up easily to hold straws, pencils, pipe cleaners, and anything else light, long, and narrow. I have previously used containers of this size to hold cool rocks and stickers too. And the writer of the post explains how you can make different shapes and sizes of basket, too, so you can upscale for your own needs!

But, as someone else said, sometimes it's nice to just make a thing for the joy of making a thing c:

For holding two grapes, or perhaps two dozen raisins

Decorative, put some smol neat thing in there

Tweezers, safety pin, chapstick, just to name a few 😛
