    Tear labels off before you throw away thus destroying YOUR personal information.. . .Pharmacy, Ph. #, Medications your on. . . . nobody's business but yours. They are sometimes good for very small craft items, pins, nails, beads, etc. . . . with your own new lable on them

      Sorry, I empty the med bottles, read lots of stuff on the internet and answer some questions when I can.Lovetra if the craft person in fact, she has had to become not only Chief cook, bottle washer, craft person, but Carpenter, handyman plumber electrician, bill payer and take care of me. She told me about the craft item being stored in the pill bottles. She says she uses lots of them in her knitting/crochet basket, sewing machine drawers and jewelry case when she has time for those things these days.

      That taking a look at Pinterest bottles crafts looks like a winner for a suggestion.

    Glue them upside down and make a circle, and put Christmas things hanging from it

    Maybe use them as spice jars, or small amount of paint for the kiddies to use at playtime. That would be useful, as they have lids, I reckon. Good Luck

    Footstool : Make a circle or square of them by sticking together. Tape all around the perimeter to Reinforce. do the same again if you want it higher.

    Fix all together tightly. Stick Card to the exterior top and Sides. Cover with Fabric to taste or Paint etc........If made tall enough you could use this idea to make a table..............

    You can send them to THE MALAWI PROJECT, INC, 3314 Van Tassel Dr., Indianapolis, IN 46240. They clean and sterilize the bottles and send them to third world countries so that families can take their medications home in bottles.

    my pharmac recycled them which makes me happy. Before that I use to keep needles, pins, buttons etc. in them in my sewing box. I use to make animals and people out of them with a drill, glue, sharpie, cloth, and rope knotted, Just like the spool we used back then. You could put beads, rocks or whatever inside the bottles and rattles were loved by my childre. Just make sure the tops are glued on well And knots are tied well. Kids chew everything. Get labels off. 😱

    You can put crayon shavings into then, pop them into the oven and they melt into beautiful decorations. You need to remove the labels and clean the insides. Put parchment paper on the pan. Check out Crayola crayon website or Pinterest for complete instructions. Have fun.

    No, but I have used some old bottles to hold my better jewelry, particularly bracelets. Jewelry doesn't jostle around with other pieces and stays cleaner. I am not Mrs. Gotrocks but do like to keep jewelry in good shape.
