Uses for Prescription Bottles

I have many of various sizes in my sewing box to sort out the different sizes of snaps, safety pins, and buttons. I have two bigger pill bottles for large safety pins and straight pins.

I have a long bottle in with my yarn, holding crochet needles, one with yarn needles and assorted small knitting items in it.

I keep one bottle by my computer with rolaids, gum, and denture numbing stuff in it.

I have one with dry beans in it for my infant granddaughter to use as a rattle. It has a safety cap that I cannot remove and is too big for her to remove.

My granddaughter said to add using them for barrettes and other assorted hair gadgets, school things such erasers and pencil sharpener.

In my purse I use a large one as my 'wallet', I keep folded bills and my change it it. When I need it, I just look for the white lid. I have a smaller pill bottle in there with bus tokens in it, making them easier to find when needed.

I have one that is just the right size to hold a roll of quarters, that money is for laundry only.

There are many, many other household uses for them, a man can use them to sort nails, tacks, screws, washers, bolts, etc. Let your imagination run wild. Uses are endless.

RE: Uses for Prescription Bottles

You are a girl after my own heart I have so many of those pill bottles and didn't know what to do with them but like you came up with lots of ideas. I also put a sewing needle couple of different color buttons and some invisible thread in my handbag, so if I have a misshap I am ready. Plus a few pins and they do make good rattles for a baby as they are small just right for there little hands but thanks for the great ideas. Oh and you use the same saying as I do; me, myself, and I. lol
