Christmas Cracker Decoration From an Old Pill Bottle
Quick way to create some festive decorations out of old pill bottles and scraps of wrapping paper too small for most presents.
For this project you can use any empty pill bottle, I've used a long thin prescription one but it would work just as well with a fatter bottle of off the shelf medication, as long as you have enough wrapping paper to fit around it.
Find a piece of scrap wrapping paper that is longer than your pill bottle on both ends and wide enough to wrap all the way around it.
Just like with wrapping presents, I usually fold the end in before taping it down.
Once you've taped it closed in the middle you don't need tape for the ends. Just find two bits of ribbon and tie them tightly at the top and base of the pill bottle - like a Christmas Cracker.
I wanted to hang my ornament so I took another piece of ribbon and looped it through the back of one of the ribbons I used for the closure.
And that's it! One Christmas Cracker ornament made out of bits and pieces that might otherwise get thrown away!
