Charlotte with Stretching Your Budget has put together great ideas for using all those empty wipes containers. And parents of little ones know that you can accumulate A LOT of wipes containers:
Need an easy way to create storage for all of the small things in your house? You only need one supply: an empty wipes container! I love to save all of my empty baby wipes containers and I use them for my daughters art supplies, markers, crayons, etc!! It’s super inexpensive (since you can get wipes for really cheap) and it doesn’t matter if they break it or color on it, because you can always get a new one! Well, I thought I would google some other things things that you could store in your wipes containers.
Here’s what I found:
1. Storage for bathroom supplies like cotton balls, q-tips, hair clips, nail polish, etc2. CD storage
3. Kitchen storage like small utensils, medicine cups, batteries, those little corn holder things!!
4. Toys: legos, small trucks, small books, etc.
5. Drawer dividers
6. Re-use for a baby shower gift: it you’re really crafty with paint you could paint a really cute design, fill it with wipes, then give it as a gift! Or if you find a cute pattern in fabric you could glue it on and put a nice trim around the edge!I hope some of these ideas will help you become frugal around your house this week! What do you do with your empty wipes containers???
Oooohhhh…Thanks for this post! I have quite a few that I was just thinking I needed to find use for! 🙂 Awesome!
Yeah, glad you can use it!
okay so you might think this is weird, but I cut the center out of the wipe container where you pull the wipes up thru and I use the container for my sons popcorn! He loves popcorn but seems to get it everywhere!!!! This way he can get his hand in it just far enough to get a few pieces at a time and it’s not so messy!!!:)
Not weird at all! I’m impressed with your creativity! My kids were just eating popcorn the other night and it was everywhere. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for posting this! I was just unpacking and came across a ZILLION of these containers because I was using them for bow making (ribbon, hot glue etc) but I reorganized that stuff and had a ton of the containers. I stacked them in the corner thinking hmm..I need to find a use for these but not sure what to do with them! YAY.
