Fixed it for you. It looks nice
That's a great idea! Use what you already have.
My blade bank.
I took a King's Men talc tin can an made a slit in the top for blades. It will likely last me the rest of my life ... or nearly.
Awesome. Doesn't ruin the look of shelf things 
I use an old can. I just poked 2 holes in the bottom to let the contents (chicken broth I think) drain and cut a small slit in the top. I had intentions of painting it or something but that hasn't happened in the last year. Maybe in 10 years once this is full I do something creative with the next one. I just appreciate that there is no way anyone could get cut my my used blades. It's seems very safe.
This Is MINE. An old Band Aid box.
Pretty cool I might try to do the same thing. Thanks
Unlike the Feathers and a few others, most blades come in cardboard packs.
So, for the many here that use incredible numbers and varieties of blades... a LARGE blade bank is a must.

All of which have only cardboard or paper packaging (barring the 5 Feather and 1 Other pack).

I agree with this and [MENTION=110283]bobskins[/MENTION] if feathers are the only blade you want to use then go ahead and use the provided blade bank.
Purchased this blade bank when I bought my razor. Will do the trick for now. I have picked up some great ideas from this thread for my next bank however.
I made this for my son using the cheap can of chicken broth. I'm putting together a shave kit for his birthday. It seems almost no one ever mentions including a blade bank with a starter kit. The painters tape I used did ok, but it didn't turn out as perfect as I had hoped would.
Love it! Looks awesome
Looks really good!
If you're having problems with the second colour bleeding under the tape, after you tape, repaint with the original colour and that should fill the bleed gaps so the new second colour doesn't bleed under the tape. Or you could use a clear coat as the intermediate stage to fill the bleed gaps.

That totally makes sense! Thanks!
The corrugation of the can you used may also cause issues with getting the tape to lay in flat and seal, everything does look really good in the images.
Not a blade bank, i need to cut slots, but painting demo of sealing the tape to get clean lines... clearcoat used here as the undercolours weren't solid, then painted white for the base coat.
