This will explain simple uses for old pill bottles.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Old Pill Bottles
  1. Step 1

    First, you may want to peel the labels off of your empty pill bottles, you can either heat them with a hair dryer, or you can put them in hot water to weaken the adhesive, and remove the sticker.

  2. Step 2

    Now decide what you want to use them for, they can be used for other medicines, such as foil tabbed medicines, so that you can child proof them, you can also store many other small miscellaneous things around the house, that would be better seperated. Another idea, is a spare key hider, you could paint it black and tuck it under the mulch outside for an unlucky day.

  3. Step 3

    If you use the bottles as organizers, for parts or screws, you may want to color code the tops with markers, or write on each white cap what is in that pill bottle.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you decide to put other medicine's in the old pill bottle, be sure to wash it out well before hand.
