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!
8. Makeup holder
Paint the pill bottles a pretty color and fill it up with makeup brushes, Q-tips, whatever else will fit. You can also make yours magnetic and stick it to a board to keep organized.
9. Purse trash can
Okay ladies, this is just about as genius as it gets. Mod Podge Rocks decorated an old pill bottle then tossed it in her purse to collect things like old receipts, wrappers, and anything else that tends to just end up floating around. Cleaning your purse is going to be so much easier next time.
10. Earbud container
One thing we can all agree on, without a doubt, is how annoying it is to untangle earbuds. Losing them in a tangled mess at the bottom of your bag comes at a close second. Instead, knot them up and throw them in a pill bottle. The chords stay neat, and you’ll always be able to find them.
11. A love Rx
This is just a cute little way to cheer someone up or show them how you feel. Create adorable little instructions section on yours. So sweet!
12. Matchbox
Well, more like match-cylinder. Simply fill the pill bottle with matches and tape a strike to the outside (or stick it with the strike facing outwards inside the bottle). The Crafty Librarian says doing this makes a waterproof and kidproof match container. Perfect for camping or to keep in the car in case of emergency.
13. Coin holder
Use the old pill bottle for loose change or bills.
