If you often lose or tangle your earbuds, an old pill bottle makes a great case to store them safely in your bag or pocket. Instructions:
- Gently wind your earbuds around two fingers and slide them into the bottle.
- Close the lid to keep them protected from dirt and damage.
10. DIY Fire Starter
For campers or hikers, a pill bottle can be transformed into a compact fire starter kit. Fill it with cotton balls or dryer lint and petroleum jelly to create a highly flammable material. Steps:
- Coat cotton balls or lint with petroleum jelly.
- Pack them tightly into the pill bottle.
- Use as tinder to easily start a fire when outdoors.
Additional Tips for Repurposing Pill Bottles:
- Always clean the bottles thoroughly to remove any medicine residue before using them for a new purpose.
- Label each bottle, especially if you have multiple repurposed bottles for different uses.
- If using the bottles for food storage (like spices), consider using a food-safe liner to prevent contamination.
With a little creativity, these small, durable containers can serve a variety of useful purposes, saving you money and reducing waste!
