Stop tossing out the old pill bottle.
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!
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.
