20 Ways to Upcycle Plastic Containers

Obviously you want to properly clean and dry any and all plastic containers you upcycle. Especially ones which contain soap like dish soap bottles or detergent bottles.

When you are looking for which plastic containers to upcycle there are a few handy sizes which come to mind. Yogurt containers (individual and family size). Take out containers (many cities just don’t recycle those black plastic ones!). Milk jugs. Laundry detergent bottles (wash well!).

Here are 20 ideas to Upcycle Plastic Containers

  1. Desk organizers (think: paperclips, erasers)
  2. Craft organizers (think: felt and pompoms)
  3. Paint pots for arts n’ crafts
  4. Playing card holders (invert and cut a slit to hold the cards)
  5. Stacking blocks (stack em’ up and knock em down. Individual yogurt containers work best)
  6. Drawer organizers
  7. Bath toys
  8. Mini green house (rotisserie chicken containers and take out boxes with plastic lids are perfect for mini green houses)
  9. Frozen pudding pops
  10. Beach/Sand toys
  11. Bowling or knock it down games (milk jugs, dish soap bottles, milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles work well).
  12. Seed starter
  13. Bird feeders (milk jugs!)
  14. Planters (cut holes in bottom for drainage)
  15. Diving toys (dish soap containers filled with water sink to the bottom and you have to dive down and bring it back to the surface)
  16. Drums (big plastic containers with lids work well for this)
  17. Bathroom organizers (think: cotton balls and q-tips)
  18. Change container/money bank
  19. DIY Guitar picks
  20. Worm house (Dig some up in the garden)

You can also craft up your recycled plastic by spray painting, gluing yarn or twine or adding washi tape to decorate the exteriors.

Need some good news? People are still kind. Despit Need some good news? People are still kind. Despite the pandemic and lockdowns and frustrations. People are still kind.

My @littlefreelibrary is proof. People drop off their gently used books just to share something to read.

There are kids' books, magazines, non-fiction, novels and even a couple dvds!

People are free to take,  disenfect, quarantine, not-return or return-something-else at their own comfort level.

It's the kind of thing that brings us together when we are apart.

Baking hack! Use clothes pins to hold your parchme Baking hack! Use clothes pins to hold your parchment paper down.

Credit for hack: my daughter because when I asked her to come help me by holding the parchment paper she got two clothes pins...pinned the parchment...and then said "it's not that hard Mom" (paraphrasing)

🤦‍♀️

Despite the hit to my fragile ego...the hack worked.
