Packaging project

Started off wanting to repackage batteries.  But my idea to get rid of the plastic and design a box that could be easily mailed back to the manufacturer wasn't realistic.  (The idea was to free the landfills of toxic battery leakage and make it easy for the consumer to recycle).  England has a program now that collects batteries in a special box with your recycle bottles, cans, etc. 

Finally after scouring hardware and office supply stores, I found something to repackage.  I found rubber bands for $.45 in a plastic bag.  I want to package rubber bands in such a way that the container becomes a desk caddy to store the rubber bands after you open them.  I have a design and am working out the bugs - and there are many.  I am experimenting with paper and want to do something see-thru - if it looks ok.  I'm learning that measurements and cutting even lines are key to a successful 3D box shape.  I'm excited that at least I have an idea now.
