CARD: Containers, Accessories, Recycle, and Decorations
Containers
1.Jewelry Holder
If you like perfumes, there's a good chance that you
love owning jewelry. If so, then you probably know that keeping and organizing
them aren't always easy. They're tiny, too shiny to stay put, and sometimes
dangle around.
Since you have many empty perfume
bottles, you can repurpose them into a jewelry holder. Even if it's the first
on the list, this is the easiest to perform. You only have to clean your
bottles, dry them, and then store your precious jewelry.
If you have many items on your
jewelry collection, you can separate them into different bottles. Grouping them
by accessory size, type, and labels will help for more organization. You can
also decorate your bottles with flowers and other attachments so your
collection will look fancier inside them.
Although you should be mindful of
your jewelry's sizes- some might fit inside, but you will have a hard time
getting out. Estimate and decide what item goes into what bottle. Nevertheless,
you can still scope them out with pointy objects if your fingers can't fit.
2.Coin Stash
An empty perfume bottle is
excellent for a coin stash. It's open and stylish look makes you want to put
more coins in them. Indeed, they are great for storing your spare change.
If you're the type of person who
likes to save as much, then an empty perfume bottle is perfect for you. First,
since you're recycling, you don't have to purchase a coin bank, therefore
saving you more money. Lastly, if you have a clear perfume bottle, use them
instead; they will urge you to insert more coins since you want to see it
became full.
Another use of a perfume bottle is
a tip jar. However, it would be best to choose a bottle with a mouth wide
enough for inserting money. You don't want customers having a hard time, do
you?
Anyway, this use case is
straightforward to achieve. Like the former item on the list, you only need to
wash, dry, and use it.
Accessories
1.Necklace
Aside from using them as
containers, you can turn empty perfume bottles into necklaces. While it may
sound like a weird idea, it can turn out great if done well. Before starting,
choose the most beautiful pieces from your bottle collection.
A bottle usually comes in a
stylish design, making it a perfect pendant for a necklace. Besides, the scent
lingers in the bottle for a long time after being empty, mimicking an air
freshener but for the body. Although only choose small bottles to keep the look
more natural and prevent your neck from hurting due to more weight.
Designing a bottle shouldn't be
too hard. You only need to glue it with small decorative attachments. If you
don't mind doing more work, you can visit other sites for more perfume
bottle accessory inspiration.
2.Carry-on Hand Sanitizer
A perfume bottle is designed to
spray liquids, so it's great to use as one. Moreover, since health is wealth, it's
essential to take care of it. A way to stay safe when outside is by carrying a
hand sanitizer.
Now that you get the idea, what's
better than having stylish-looking hand sanitizer, right? Well, with your empty
perfume bottles, you can. Plus, it requires minimal work.
You don't even need to wash them,
for a great smelling hand sanitizer isn't bad ideally; in fact, it's great.
Pour the sanitizer from its original container into an empty perfume bottle and
have yourself a great-looking one.
Since you can't squeeze glass, you
need to use empty perfume spray bottles instead. It would be best to use
non-sticky or alcohol-based hand sanitizers so it won't adhere to the bottle's
straw.
Recycle
1.Sell
You might think that you can't
sell empty perfumes, don't you? Well, there's no one to blame; most recycling
adverts focus on saving water and beverage bottles and overlooked other
materials like these. Regardless, if you want to get rid of your empty perfume
bottles, you might as well earn from them.
If you don't have a local
recycling shop for perfume bottles wholesale, you can sell online. There are
countless sites for selling used items. Two of the best out there are eBay and
Carousell.
Selling is easy; you only need to
take decent photos of your collection and post them on these sites. Usually, it
takes a few days or even weeks before some finds interest in your items, so be
patient. Also, make sure to clean your bottles, so customers will find them
appealing, which hopefully will convince them to purchase.
Remember, don't throw away your
empty perfume bottles. Recycle or sell them when you can. It's an easy process,
so take advantage of it.
2.Repurpose as Perfume Bottles
What's the best use of an empty
perfume bottle than using it to store your existing scent? That's right; you
can repurpose your old bottles by refilling them with new or from your current
perfume.
If you purchased an expensive
fragrance before and emptied it, there's a chance you still admire the beauty
of its bottle. Therefore, isn't it a great idea to use the expensive item's
bottle to store your current one? Besides, the spraying mechanism of your old
perfume might be too good to cast aside. Instead of throwing out empty perfume
bottles, you can repurpose them by transferring your new ones' content. If
you're not sure how to do it, you can watch insightful video guides
online. Not only you'll have a mixed scent, but
also your perfume will now look more premium. Isn't it a fun experiment?
Decorations
1.Picture Frame
Believe it or not, you can turn
your empty perfume bottles into picture frames. Unlike the previous items on
the list, you need to be creative this time. However, don't worry; you can
still create a sound output without overcomplicating things.
If you don't want to use your
precious photos, you can print other images for decorations. First, you will
need to design a bottle: glitter it, attach small ornaments and let your
creativity flow. Also, you need to measure and reserve a space to put your
photo in the center of the bottle.
After designing, you can then
attach the photo to the space you provided. You can add details such as
stickers or glitters on top of it. As a bonus, you can pour colored water
inside the bottle to create a more appealing effect.
2.Candleholder
The last item on the list is for
classic design lovers. If you're more into functional decorations, you can
reuse empty perfume bottles as candleholders.
When you use a candle, the wax
will drip down over time, causing dirt or gunk on your table surface. It is for
this reason that everyone should use candleholders, which also makes carrying
them more manageable. However, if you don't want to purchase one, you can use
your perfume bottles instead.
There is no need to clean your
bottles in this step. All you have to do is remove the lid and anything that
blocks the bottle's mouth. Also, consider your candles' size and choose the
bottles with a similar or appropriate mouth opening.
If you want to move your candles,
you need to devise a handle for the bottle. Since it will get warm to the
touch, you will need something to hold to protect your hand. Got any wire or
thick cloth?
You can
bend or trim them to fit a smaller portion of your bottle.
