5 useful ways to use plastic bottle caps

Typically, plastic containers have a threaded neck and a screw-on lid. Moreover, this unit is quite durable and retains its tightness even after repeated use. How not to take advantage of such properties!

Plastic bag clamp


5 useful ways to use plastic bottle caps

We collect the open side of a plastic bag with sugar, cereals, cleaning products, etc. into a rope, insert it into the neck with the cap unscrewed, wrap it around it and evenly distribute the film in a circle. Carefully, without unnecessary zeal, screw on the lid. The product is lightly and securely packaged.

To use the contents of the package, unscrew the lid, pour out the required amount of product and screw the lid back on.

Mini container for small items


Using a construction knife, cut off the necks and caps from two plastic bottles. Using scissors, we trim the cuts almost to the stiffening ring, leaving only low shoulders. Using sandpaper, level the cutting planes, removing burrs and bumps.

We trace the outer contour of the shoulders with a marker on a piece of thick cardboard and cut it out with scissors.

We apply glue to the cut of one neck and press a cardboard circle onto it, which we also cover with glue along the contour, and fasten the second neck to it.

After the glue has dried, we use the resulting container to store various small items, even incompatible ones, since the cardboard circle divides the internal volume into two isolated cavities.

This mini-container can be used on hikes to store, for example, matches, as it does not allow moisture to pass through.

Paraffin candle stand


5 useful ways to use plastic bottle caps

When a burning candle melts, it forms unsightly smudges on the surface that are difficult to remove.
This can be avoided by placing a lit candle in the cap of a plastic bottle. Cooled smudges can be easily removed, so the lid can be reused many times.

Liquid dispenser


Holding the lid by the edge with pliers, heat it from below with the flame of a lighter until the plastic softens.

Then, without hesitation, we place a toothpick on top in the center and try, as it were, to pierce the softened plastic.

We hold the toothpick in the extreme position until the elongated and hollow inside spout hardens. Then we cut off the tip of the spout with scissors so that the cavity inside has an exit to the outside.

We screw the modified cap onto the water bottle and squeeze it slightly, as a result the liquid will flow out of it in an economical thin stream.

Toothbrush holder


On the diametrically opposite sides of the plastic bottle cap, use a construction knife to make longitudinal cuts wide enough to hold the handle. We also remove parts of the circular stiffener in the direction of the cutouts.

We glue the modified lid bottom to the wall so that the cutouts are vertical. We install the brush handle in them with the bristles facing up.

    Such things are good during war or immediately after war. In our house we still have a jar of soldier’s stew in which my maternal grandmother prepared simple soup and coarse pearl barley porridge for her two young daughters. An aerial bomb hit their house, leaving no stone unturned. Soldiers passing by shared the stew with them. I am now 55. All this time, every year on June 22, we take this jar out of the closet, remove the oiled paper, pour boiling water into the jar, brew tea and, passing it to each other, take a sip. And there was no case that this tea was not mixed with our tears. I know for sure that my children and my grandchildren will treasure this jar as a relic. But these crafts It would be nice to put plastic bottles below the back.We live in a country that is not rich, but not so disadvantaged that we become poor.
