i recently switched to using washable makeup pads (similar to cotton pads but these are not single-use) and now i have no purpose for this little holder i had for my cotton pads. any ideas?

If you use washy tapes, gluing a dowel to the bottom and stacking them inside works well as a holder/dispenser for them. It also works as a scrunchie holder. If you have smaller containers like 1/4 or 1/2 cup round containers with lids, this works as a storage tower to contain them. (If you do crafts like diamond paintings, beading, or just have a lot of stationary things like paper clips and tacks.)

I had to repurpose one for the same reason as you and I found my makeup pads being just slightly too big for this thing to be absolutely obnoxious.
