1. Jewelry holder
This is an awesome tip for traveling because you will always keep your jewelry together — instead of rolling around your bag — and it will always be easy to find in that orange bottle.
Why go out and buy those tiny little shampoo, conditioner and bodywash containers when you can just fill up an old pill bottle? It costs nothing and is secure and easy to use.
3. Make a portable sewing kit
If you’re the type of person who always seems to snag something or lose a button, this is for you. Fill a pill bottle up with some thread, maybe an extra button and always a few needles. If the (unfortunate) occasion arises, you’ll be prepared!
4. Hide a key
Need a good hiding spot? Instead of searching around for one, glue a rock to the top of an old pill bottle and place it in the garden or a pot. This one is sure to go unnoticed by burglars.
5. Survival kit
No, we’re not talking about the camping kind. This little survival kit is perfect to keep in your purse, gym bag or even at the office in your desk. Instead, you should fill it up with bandaids, antacids, ibuprofen, sewing needle and thread, an extra button and everything else you can fit in there. If something happens, you’re sure to have it close by.
6. Nail polish remover
Nowadays you can buy those handy but expensive nail polish remover pods. You stick your finger in the remover, wiggle it around a little, and before you know it all your polish is off. Well, you can make one out of an old pill bottle by filling it with cotton balls and remover — that’s it!
7. Center pull for your yarn
There’s no need to go out and buy an expensive center pull for wrapping your own yarn. Instead, you can stick the start of the yarn in the pill bottle, put the cap on, then start wrapping. It creates the natural gap you need and it’s totally free!
