Hello Ruby; You can do numerous things with old Medicine bottles. They are quite useful when crafting.

I have used some for several different things. One is when traveling, I keep a large one full of quarters for tolls.
I have another large one that has Band aids, and Tylenol. Another large bottle is a mini sewing kit.
If you have a large amount if bottles, how about donating them to a School, to the Art Dept. I am so sure that the Art teacher would be thrilled to have them.
It depends on the type of container. I get a lot of the pharmacy plastic ones. I get the labels off and then put safety pins in some and stick pins, buttons, screws, all kinds of things. Easy way to organize things. Just make a new label for each bottle and there you go,. They sit nicely in a drawer too.
Oh, boy. Do I have ideas. Besides the obvious using them to hold jewlery, crafting & sewing supplies. you could use them to make little dolls. Wrap them in batting then material. Use a large wooden bead for the head. You get the picture. Always clean them out first. You could also use them as building "blocks". I like to put antacids in them to carrie in my handbag. Or if I'm going out and I need my pills for the day, I put then in one bottle. Take lables off them first. Or simply recycle them.

Christmas decorations can even be made from them.
I hope that this helps you!!! Take Care!
Store small items in them, like buttons, small beads, washers, straight pins, aglets, and bag ties.

recycle in your trash.
