Storage ideas for alphabet stamps?

[New England Eeyore]

I have a couple sets of small alphabet stamps (one of them is a Disney set from EK Success of letters inside Mickey heads if you know what I mean). They don't come in a nice hard plastic case like some of my larger sets, instead they come in a flimsy cardboard base or plastic box that quickly falls apart and is just generally not a good way to store them. Does anyone have any ideas for how I could store them? I want to be able to keep the alphabet in order so I don't have to search for a letter each time I want to. I'm kind of stumped right now.

Have you looked at the disposable storage containers for leftovers? Like Gladware, Ziploc etc.

They are available in many different sizes/

What are the dimensions of the alphabet all together?

I saw somebody on another board use a container to store bullets. It seemed to work perfectly and she said it was only a few dollars. She said they can hold either 50 or 100.

Are they the foam letter stamps by memories? If so, the best thing I have seen so far, is to get a Generations or similar plastic folder. They usually go on sale for $1, you might need 2 to hold the whole alphabet. As for the Mickey head alphabet ones... I have them too, and I just keep them in the plastic box they came it, and I haven't had any problems with them.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out the Ziploc types and the bullet containers.

To answer some of the questions - overall size of the entire alphabets vary but the one I just measured is 3.5" x 3 " (the entire set.) They're not foam stamps - they're rubber stamps with a wooden base. And the Mickey set does have a plastic box, but it opens from the side, so you can't just pluck a letter out from the top, you have to take the entire set out each time and they just don't "sit" well.

Thanks everyone!

I have mine in a clear case made by Rubbermaid.
