Want a small container but can’t find any at home? If so, this is the perfect craft for you!

🌍 These containers are made from plastic water bottles that would otherwise be thrown to landfills.

⏳ They take less than 10 minutes to make and are totally customizable!

🦋 You may choose to put things like beads or rings inside the container or use it to store DIY lip balm.

Supplies

✏️ 1 plastic water bottle

✏️ 2 plastic water bottle caps

✏️ hot glue gun with glue

✏️ scissors

✏️ (optional) paint, glitter, jewels

Cut the Bottle

Using your scissors, cut the top part of the water bottle so that only the cap part is left.

Creating the Base

Hot glue a cap to the bottom part of the bottle (opposite to the side where the cap screws) to create the base of the container. Look at the picture for reference.

That's It!

The container is complete.

you can go a step further and decorate your container! I chose to make a heart shape out of hot glue and then paint both caps in bronze paint. You can also add things like glitter or jewels!
