I've acquired a modest collection of half-ounce dropper bottles of miniature paints. Storing them in a way that keeps them organized, accessible, and out of the way when I'm using my limited hobby space for something other than miniature painting is a problem that's been vexing me for awhile.

The latest solution is a bag for essential oils and other cosmetics. It even comes adorned with a pretty floral embellishment. The holes in the foam insert are a perfect for dropper bottles.
This particular carrying case can hold 120 dropper bottles. That's enough space for my current collection with room to spare for future purchases. Because the search for a set of perfect paints is never ending. The case securely holds the bottles in place when zipped up. It's an ideal travel solution for anybody who carries their paint collection around, but mine will likely reside tucked away in a corner of my home office.

Cases like this one can be found by searching for "essential oil storage" or "essential oil carrying case" on e-commerce sites like the one named after a river. There's significant variation in size, pricing, and availability depending on the market. A price and capacity that works for me might not be workable or available for others. I encourage anyone interested in such a product to do a little shopping to find one that's a good fit for them.
A cautionary word: This case isn't suitable for storing larger bottles like those used for craft or artist's paints. Games Workshop style paint pots may fit with some convincing, but I don't recommend it as it may damage the foam insert over time. A case like this is best suited for dropper bottles.
I've also uploaded a brief video about this case to my YouTube channel. The information in the narration is similar, but the visuals offer more details than presented in this blog post.
