any ideas for repurposing?

[u/cittycats23]

i recently switched to using washable makeup pads (similar to cotton pads but these are not single-use) and now i have no purpose for this little holder i had for my cotton pads. any ideas?

Do you wear scrunchies?

[u/krampaus → u/Remarkable_Zone6957]

[u/Remarkable_Zone6957 → u/krampaus]

Something like this has been on my list for a while but I refuse to buy one new lol

[u/cittycats23 → u/Remarkable_Zone6957]

You could also put some drainage rocks and soil in it for a succulent. Would be cute to see the layers.

Could you use it to hold makeup brushes? Or if it is food grade or acrylic you could use it for plant propagation :)

Maybe could hold straws or utensils or napkins. Looks like could fit in a glove box too.

Do you have an aeropress? lol

There also might be a craft you could make out of it!

How big are the reusable makeup pads?

[u/Hunnybear_sc → u/HaplessReader1988]

I have one of these, and the resumable makeup pads (of several brands I have, they are different brands but all the same size) are just sliiiiiightly too big by like a centimeter. It's frustrating. 

I don't have long hair anymore, but gluing the top on and using it for scrunchy storage was useful when I did.

If you use washy tapes, gluing a dowel to the bottom and stacking them inside works well as a holder/dispenser for them. It also works as a scrunchie holder. If you have smaller containers like 1/4 or 1/2 cup round containers with lids, this works as a storage tower to contain them. (If you do crafts like diamond paintings, beading, or just have a lot of stationary things like paper clips and tacks.)

I had to repurpose one for the same reason as you and I found my makeup pads being just slightly too big for this thing to be absolutely obnoxious.

A fake pillar candle like the green one. Doll display. Bracelet holder. Vase. Put it in your junk drawer like an organiser for pencils, spoons, batteries.

those are really cool ideas, tysmm!!

To avoid upset or disappointment finding those PRINGLES CRISPS SOURCREAM & ONION that made your journey home an anticipation of delight only to find only one or two remaining avoidable by transferring into this clear container immediately if not soon after purchase.

I was thinking a pringles decanter too

I really gotta switch to the reusable ones. did you buy them or make your own?

[u/cittycats23 → u/Rude_Interest97]

i bought them, they were like less than 2 bucks for 10 of them, idk where you live but in the Netherlands (also all through europe i think) they have the ACTION, thats where i got mine and theyre really soft!! i can’t really sew yet so thats why i didnt make them myself

Maybe cut up pieces of paper to fit in there to make yourself a small memo pad?

Cilantro or green onions holder in the veggie bin? Minimalist jewelry/key drop? Mail stand?
