#Store jewelry and cosmetic items in the pill bottle. Bobby pins, hair ties, and other small fashion accessories are often difficult to store properly, since they get lost in regular drawers and storage containers. Empty pill bottles make perfect containers for these items. Use one for bobby pins, another for earrings, and so on. If you wanted, you could tape a label on each so you know what’s inside.

#Place your cotton swabs in the pill bottle. Cotton swabs are great for cleaning small tubes and fine objects. But their small size also makes them hard to store. Most people just keep them in the box they come packaged in, but if you wanted to keep them somewhere more accessible, you could just store them in an empty pill bottle.

#*If you are not able to seal the pill bottle with the lid, that’s okay. You can just leave the pill bottle on your bathroom counter and recycle the lid, or place it somewhere for safekeeping (in the event that you ever want to put your empty pill bottle to a different use).

#Stash your earbuds in an empty pill bottle. Stuffing your earbuds in your backpack, handbag, or pocket could cause them to become tangled or damaged. Instead, extend your earbuds to their maximum length and untangle any knots. Fold them in half three or four consecutive times, then place them in an empty pill bottle. Your earbuds will then be safe and ready for use the next time you want to use them.

#Organize your piping tips. If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen and have a large collection of frosting piping tips, sort them by size. Label a corresponding number of pill bottles with the various piping tip sizes or descriptions.

But if you’re taking matches out camping and get caught in a squall, your matches could be ruined. Carrying your matches in a waterproof pill bottle means you won’t have to worry about that anymore.
