Susan I love recycling. What I have used them for are tooth picks, the tall bottles, beads, paper clips, stamps, q-tips for traveling, cotton balls etc. Can you tell I love these things?!
I have them in my car too for change.
I hope I get to see what you’ve done.

They make excellent containers for earring backs and parts,screws,nails etc. you could paste some pretty paper around the outside of the bottle to make it look better. You could even stash your jewelry in there so that people don’t know which jewelry. If I were really adventurous I might make a mobile of some type or wind chime

  You are most welcome Susan! Yes I have upcycled as many as I can, most of mine now end up in the recycle bin. It is such a shame they can't refill in the same bottle as long as it is a pill. There must be a better way.
