Yeah, I do the same thing with boxes of Fishermen's Friend! Using cardborad bases and 3/4 inch foam undercarpetting, I make 2 layers of holders of 5 reeds: a total of 10 reeds per box: better protected than any expensive case!
The foam underpadding (for carpets) holds the reeds in place: it is glued onto the cardboard backing. The foam is cut the width of the box and as as long as the binding of the reed. When the glue is dry, I cut slits (no holes) where I want to put a reed: the pressure of the foam keeps the reed in place.
To make it fancy, for the cardboard backing, I make side walls and only one end piece (wall) at the tip of the reed. I then spray-paint the cardboard to prevent water damage..... but this is getting fancy!
I'll take pictures later and post them.
Best of luck!
