10 Fun Ways to Repurpose Your Old Shampoo Bottles

 

1. Silicone craft mat – Shampoo bottles can be recycled to make silicone craft mats. Simply cut the bottom off of the bottle, and you’ll have a new mat to use for all your craft projects. The silicone material is perfect for protecting surfaces from glue and paint, and it’s easy to clean when you’re finished using it.
2. Playful pets – Turn your old shampoo bottles into cute little pets. All you need is some felt, googly eyes, and a little imagination. These make great toys for kids or decorations for your home.
3. Handy storage containers – Empty shampoo bottles can be used to store all sorts of things around the house. Fill them with buttons, beads, or other small objects, and use them to organize your workspace.
4. Planters – Repurpose old shampoo bottles into planters to give your plants a new home. To get started, simply clean out your shampoo bottle and remove the label. Then, add some soil and seeds to the bottle. After your plant has sprouted and grown, you can move it to a larger pot or even outside into the garden. With a little bit of creativity, you can turn an everyday item into something special that will bring life to your home.
5. Soap dispensers – Empty shampoo bottles can easily be turned into soap dispensers. Just add your favorite liquid soap and a pump, and you’ll have a new dispenser for your kitchen or bathroom.
6. Travel toiletries – Pack your travel toiletries in repurposed shampoo bottles to save space. These bottles are perfect for carrying small amounts of shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion, and they’ll save you a lot of space in your suitcase. Plus, they’re easy to find if you need them in a hurry.

Simply unscrew the cap and squeeze out the amount you need. When you’re finished, screw the cap back on and toss the bottle into your suitcase. No more searching through piles of clothes to find your shampoo.

7. Sprayers – An empty shampoo bottle can be repurposed into a plant sprayer or cleaning solution dispenser with the addition of a nozzle. To use the bottle as a plant sprayer, simply fill the bottle with water and add a small amount of liquid soap. Screw on the nozzle and shake well to mix. For use as a cleaning solution dispenser, mix equal parts of water and vinegar (or another cleaning solution) in the bottle. Add a drop of dish soap to help the mixture foam, then screw on the nozzle. When ready to use, simply point and squeeze. The shampoo bottle’s ergonomic design makes it easy to hold and aim, and the nozzle provides a fine mist that can reach even hard-to-reach places.
8. Vases – Decorate old shampoo bottles and use them as vases for fresh or artificial flowers. To get started, simply remove the labels from the bottles and give them a good wash. Then, use a sharp knife to make a small opening at the top of the bottle. Depending on the type of flowers you intend to use, you can make the opening as large or as small as you like. After you’ve made the opening, carefully insert your flowers and fill it with water. You now have a chic and eco-friendly vase that is sure to brighten up any room.
9. Candle holders – Cut off the top of a shampoo bottle and use it as a candle holder. You can even decorate it with paint, ribbon, or glitter. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even add a few drops of essential oils to the wax before you pour it in.
10. Desk organizers – Keep your desk organized with repurposed shampoo bottles. Use them to hold pens, pencils, paperclips, and other small office supplies.
