  4. Love this book. My daughter and I are doing an indoor fairy garden since winter weather is coming.

  8. This is really a family Gift! Our daughter is tree fairy, and our son’s daughter (our granddaughter), announced before she was 2 yes. old, that she was a flower fairy for “button fliers”. We do not know how either child discovered that they were fairies. Although there is 25 years age difference, and 3,000 apart, they have shown an amazing connection with one another from the first.
    I am positive that it would be a treasure for both of them!

  9. Would love this book. Would make me feel like a kid again. Nothing like getting great ideas to start planning. Thank you

  13. OMG!! I absolutely adore making Fairy scenes! To the delight of my grandchildren we have many “Fairy Doors’ inside and outside of our home. They love running around and trying to find out if there has been any new construction of Fairy Doors every time they come to our house! They are on walls, ceilings, the floor and even on appliances. I have been drooling over this book for quite a while now but haven’t bought it because that is money that I can use to buy supplies! I know, I know, the book would be a valuable tool to give me added inspiration! It is kind of like the age old riddle of what comes first, the chicken or the egg! LOL Fingers tightly crossed in hopes of being the lucky winner!! Have a great day!

30 Brilliant Uses for Empty Pill Bottles You Probably Haven’t Tried Yet

Creative and Practical Ways to Reuse Pill Bottles Around the Home

Let’s be honest—those little orange pill bottles multiply like rabbits in the back of the medicine cabinet. And if you’re anything like me, tossing them feels wasteful. They’re sturdy, compact, and practically begging to be reused. So rather than sending them to landfill purgatory, let’s put them to good use!

Here are 30 clever, crafty, and completely practical ways to reuse pill bottles—from home hacks to travel tips and even a few creative craft ideas your grandkids will love.

Home Organization Hacks

  1. Spare change stash
     Pop it in your car’s cup holder, and you’ll never be caught short for a parking meter again.
  2. Emergency sewing kit
     A couple of needles, thread, tiny scissors, and a spare button fit perfectly.
  3. Tiny hardware holder
     Nails, screws, washers—no more rummaging through random tins in the garage.
  4. Safety pin storage
     Stop chasing scattered pins in the bottom of your junk drawer.
  5. Toothpick travel case
     Because no one wants loose toothpicks rolling around in their handbag.
  6. Matches + striking strip
     Glue a match striker to the lid and toss it in your camping kit.
  7. Mini first-aid kit
     Band-aids, alcohol wipes, and a few painkillers—all in one waterproof spot.
  8. USB or SD card holder
     Label the lid and keep your data safe and dry.

Craft & DIY Ideas

  1. Bead storage
     Perfect for sorting small amounts by color or type.
  2. Glitter containment
     Finally, a way to store glitter without it taking over your whole craft drawer.
  3. DIY travel paint pots
     A little dab of acrylic in each bottle = no mess on the go.
  4. Mini crayon case
     Snap a few crayons in half and toss them in for road trip fun.
  5. Yarn needle case
     Stop losing your large eye needles in the couch cushions!
  6. Button collector
     Keep vintage buttons or those extras from clothing tags neatly sorted.
  7. DIY air freshener
     Punch holes in the lid, fill with baking soda and essential oils, and tuck into smelly corners.

Gardening & Outdoors

  1. Seed storage
     Keep heirloom seeds labeled and moisture-free between seasons.
  2. DIY watering scoop
     Cut the bottom off and use it to water seedlings gently.
  3. Slug bait traps
     Fill with beer, bury level with soil. Say goodbye to slug-munched lettuce.
  4. Travel spice holder
     Take your garden herbs camping with labeled, sealed bottles.

Travel & Purse Essentials

  1. Earbud holder
     No more tangled cords in the bottom of your handbag.
  2. Travel pill sorter
     Instead of dragging the whole cabinet, portion out what you need.
  3. Hair ties and bobby pins
     A small bottle keeps these sneaky little things together.
  4. Lotion or sunscreen decanter
     Much cheaper (and smaller) than travel bottles from the store.
  5. Jewelry protection
     Pop your rings or earrings in a cotton-padded bottle while swimming or traveling.
  6. Breath mint container
     No more rattling Tic Tac boxes—just sleek and quiet.

Kids, Pets, & Emergency Prep

  1. Pet treats
     Handy for walks or training sessions. Clip to your keychain or leash.
  2. DIY “I’m bored” game pieces
     Write fun challenges on slips of paper and store them for school holidays.
  3. Mini flashlight storage
     Tuck in a tiny torch and a few batteries—great for glove compartments or emergency kits.
  4. Tooth fairy bank
     My kids used to leave the tooth and the bottle under the pillow. Easier for the fairy to find!
  5. Message in a bottle
     Classic beach day fun. Bonus points for sealing it with wax.

A Quick Safety Note

If you’re using old prescription bottles, make sure to remove or cover the label completely—personal info should stay your business. And give each bottle a good wash before repurposing.

There’s something deeply satisfying about finding new life for old things. It’s frugal, clever, and let’s be honest—there’s a certain joy in telling someone, “Oh this? It’s just a pill bottle I upcycled.”
