Stop Throwing Away Your Old Pill Bottles: 12 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Them
Safety & Travel Solutions
9. Pocket First-Aid Kit
You don’t need a bulky box to carry the essentials. Pack a pill bottle with a few various-sized bandages, a couple of antiseptic wipes, a packet of antibiotic ointment, and a small blister pad. It’s the ultimate micro-kit for hiking, camping, or keeping in your purse.
10. Hide-a-Key Secret Safe
Need a secure way to leave a spare key outside your house? Place your house key inside a pill bottle. Glue a real, natural-looking rock or pinecone to the top of the white cap. Bury the orange bottle in your garden or dirt path, leaving only the rock exposed.
11. Travel Jewelry Protector
When traveling, thin necklaces easily tangle into impossible knots, and small earrings get lost. Drop your rings and earrings into a pill bottle, or thread delicate necklaces through a straw before putting them in the bottle to keep them pristine and contained.
12. Spill-Proof Match Striker
For camping or emergency kits, put your matches inside a pill bottle to ensure they stay completely dry. Cut out the striking strip from the original cardboard matchbox and glue it to the inside of the bottle lid or onto the bottom of the container.
