Introduction
Don’t let those little orange bottles pile up in your medicine cabinet or end up in a landfill. While they may seem like single-use containers, old pill bottles are surprisingly versatile! With a bit of cleaning and creativity, you can upcycle them into useful items around your home, car, or office. Here’s a handy “recipe” for giving those pill bottles a second life—with 12 practical and imaginative ways to reuse them.
🥫 Ingredients (What You’ll Need):
Clean, empty pill bottles (preferably with labels removed)
Hot soapy water or rubbing alcohol (for cleaning)
Adhesive labels or markers (for relabeling)
Optional: craft supplies, mini hardware, coins, spices, matches, etc.
🍳 Preparation:
Clean each pill bottle thoroughly using hot soapy water. Let them dry completely.
Remove labels with rubbing alcohol or a label remover.
Decide how each bottle will be used and gather any additional materials needed.
Relabel clearly to avoid confusion (especially if used for food or personal care).
🎨 Tips for Presentation and Conservation:
Use washi tape, spray paint, or stickers to give your pill bottles a decorative upgrade.
Store bottles in a cool, dry place—away from heat if they contain food or creams.
Keep bottles with similar functions grouped together in drawers or bins.
Label everything clearly (never reuse a bottle for medication storage unless relabeled correctly).
