Lady Had a Bunch of Empty Old Pill Bottles – Instead of Tossing Them Out, She Came Up with These Brilliant Ideas
We’ve all been there: a cabinet full of empty prescription or vitamin bottles—small, sturdy, and oddly satisfying to click shut. Most people toss them, but one clever woman saw endless potential in these little containers.
Before we dive in: Safety first!
Always remove or black out personal info (name, Rx number, pharmacy).
Wash thoroughly with soapy water and let dry completely.
Never reuse for food, medicine, or anything ingestible—residues and labeling make them unsafe for consumption.
That said—here are 10 brilliant, practical, and creative ways to repurpose those empty pill bottles:
1. Mini Herb & Spice Jars
- Perfect for homegrown herbs, seeds, or bulk spices.
- Label clearly and store in a drawer or on a rack.
- Great for camping kits or RV pantries!
2. Sewing & Craft Supply Holders
- Store buttons, beads, pins, needles, or bobbins.
- The tight seal keeps small items from spilling.
- Bonus: The translucent plastic lets you see contents!
3. Travel-Sized Toiletry Containers
- Ideal for contact lens solution, nail polish remover, or essential oils.
- Leak-proof and TSA-friendly (under 3.5 oz).
- Never use for lotions or creams that can degrade plastic.
