Hi Bill, I take a VHS box and grind or cut out the little circles that hold the tape in place. I then glue a 3/8s piece of foam--or get some with the glue already on and just cut to size, peel the paper of the preglued foam and presto ! You've got a great fly box for streamers at very little cost. Then I take a 3/4 " piece of masking tape --place it across the top of the cover and write the name of the swap on it. Finally, I put one of my mailing labels on all sides of the box ( all for easy ID) and into a bubble lined envelope with my return postage,& a pre- printed return address that can easily be taped to the same bubble pack for its return to me. Hope this helps. Doyle
