Metamucil bottles

Question

I teach a craft class for students age range from 8 to 14. I have a whole stack of old plastic metamucil bottles/jars I don't want to throw away. How can I use them in a craft? You can't see through them because they are white-not clear

If they are the shapely ones, like these: http://www.amazon.com/Metamucil-Natural-Clear-Mixing-Powder-Quantity/dp/B00620OM38 they could be made into decoupaged vases.

Maybe you could make a tip jar for Mom as featured in todays ideas?

Cheryl Markus Reynolds · Answer

Wrap it in yarn. The finished project could be used as a vase or pencil holder.

Sheryl · Answer

plastic bottles and jars can be used to make Halloween decorations.. Pinterest has some great ideas... kids can do them too.

Marge · Answer

Craft items need storage and these would work. You could paint them or glue paper on them. Put paint brushes in them.

These are all good ideas. use them outdoors as planters for succulents.

My first thought was bird feeders or houses. The top coming off would make the feeder easy to fill and for the houses it would make end of season cleaning out just a easy.

Without a photo, I will assume the label comes off and you have a white bottle. These are great for securing things in the pantry like brown sugar, leftovers from a box of opened salt, or any thing like that. I make just plain labels for the front...however, you can print them out fancy if you wish.

They would make nice pen/pencil/marker holders for their backpacks...they could decorate them with some of the new sticker papers/decorative duct tape. They could also be converted into a first aid kit, bank, etc

I use the Metamucil containers as soap molds. Just cut off the bottom edge. Then the screw top becomes the bottom of the mold. Pour the liquid soap into the mold. When it hardens, unscrew the bottom and push the soap log out. (It helps to run the container under hot water for a couple of minutes.)
