Empty pill bottles are a common sight in many households. Often found accumulating in medicine cabinets, drawers, and cupboards, these small plastic containers, usually with child-resistant caps, seem destined for the trash once their contents are used up. But creative minds have discovered that pill bottles can be incredibly versatile and useful instead of being discarded.
One woman’s clever repurposing of old pill bottles has sparked a wave of crafty enthusiasm. Here are some brilliant ideas for giving your old pill bottles a new life:
1. Travel-Sized Toiletry Containers
Pill bottles are perfect for holding small amounts of toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, or sunscreen. Their secure lids prevent leaks, and their small size makes them ideal for carry-on bags or luggage. Steps:
Wash and dry the bottle thoroughly.
Pour your desired product inside.
Label the bottle with the product name using a waterproof marker or sticker.
2. Mini First Aid Kit
Transform a pill bottle into a compact first aid kit. It’s small enough to fit in your car’s glove compartment, purse, or backpack, yet large enough to hold essential supplies. Supplies to Include:
Band-aids
Alcohol wipes
Cotton balls or swabs
Small packets of pain relievers
A few safety pins
3. Storage for Small Craft Supplies
If you love crafting, pill bottles are perfect for organizing small items like beads, buttons, or sequins. They prevent clutter and keep everything neat.
