Insert small strips of paper with prayer suggestions for the day. The Homeless. Husband. our Government. School Children. Their bus drivers. Abused people.
Firemen, Police. Military service men etc. Put 30 in a decorated bottle and give to everyone.
If you want to do individual crafts , you could glue three together pour plaster of in the bottom of all of them maybe a inch of liquid plaster in each add a small stem flower before it is dry (which is very fast ) add a ribbon and give away for valentines day. use heart paper to cover the brown bottles or leave as is.
I just put rings & clip earrings in mine.
We always have a ton of these and I have wondered the same thing, what in the world can I do with them. Hubby has some in the shop for sorting small items, I use them in the office for push pins, rubber bands, etc. and in the bathroom for bobby pins, kids hair items, etc. I also have emergency kits in our travel bags and vehicles, both first aid and sewing. Glad to see these ideas because they jogged some of my own ideas since we usually save a couple and then after removing the labels recycle them. From one of the ideas above about the pharmacy I thought our little small town pharmacy might like a wreath made with some of them in place of flowers and greenery. And the idea of giving the emergency kits to the homeless is a great idea as well as the sewing kit. Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of the Graham's, could use these too. At Christmas you pack a shoe box for all ages of kids from 2 up into teenagers and then sent to the ministry to ship all over the world. I love watching the videos of the children receiving these boxes. One of my FB friends that is a quilter got sewing kits together to donate to the boxes for older girls. Just a great idea with small scissors, buttons, needles, etc and even some small pieces of fabric. So that would also be a perfect thing to do throughout the year with all those bottles, slowly make up sewing kits by buying a few items a paycheck. Thanks for the great question, sparked lots of ideas for many!! Kind of makes ya look at that lowly medicine bottle a little differently!! LOL
Glue them together at dinferential heights and use them to flowers in. One or two flowers will do.
Thanks I'll try it.
Thanks.
Glad you have a source for a few ideas!
This isn't a craft, but another option is donating them. A charity called Matthew 25 Ministries accepts donations of clean, empty pill bottles. They're sent to clinics in Africa, where pill bottles are scarce and patients are often given their prescriptions in pieces of folded-up paper.
