Creative Ways to Recycle Wipe Containers for Organizing Your Home

1.  Wipes Container Reuse ~  Reuse your old wipe containers by decorating the outside of the container and then refill with plastic bags from the grocery store.  Then, when you are in a pinch and need a bag, you’ll have one!

2.  Quilting Storage ~ wipes containers make a great storage solution for quilting squares and assorted pins!

3.  Wipe Container as Yarn Holder ~ I love this idea for keeping your yarn tangle free and clean from knots!

4.  Low Cost Scrapbooking Storage ~  This is super basic, but I’d guess lots of people haven’t thought of using their old containers to neatly stack and store their markers or scrapbooking pens!

Diaper Wipe Case Uses

5.  Diaper Wipe Container into Toy ~  This idea is genius.  You know how much kids love to pull wipes out of the container one by one?  Well, with this toys, they do the same thing, only this time it’s with colorful fabric.  {score}

6.  Peek-a-Boo House ~   This Peek-a-book house for toddlers uses the lids from diaper wipe containers as doors on the house which open up to reveal pictures inside.  Kids LOVE it.

7.  Earring Travel Case ~ Just add a little netting to the empty wipe case, spruce up the outside of the container and you have yourself and pretty handle travel earring case!

8.  Car Emergency Kit ~  I just adore this idea!  An empty wipe container is embellished to look lovely and then filled with all kinds of goodies that you are always wishing you had handy in the car!

9. DIY Advent Calendar ~ It might take you all year to collect the lids for this advent calendar, but isn’t it adorable?

Recycled Baby Wipe Containers

10.  Coin Bank ~ Teach the kids how to count and save money using a recycled wipe container.  Don’t worry, you won’t have to come up with the label yourself!  It’s a free downloadable printable!

11.  Baby wipe treasure chest ~ Here’s a project your kids will go crazy for!  Treasure chests!  Using only spray paint, sand paper and gemstones, these chests are a perfect party favor!

12.  Wipes Case Laptop Computer ~  Feeling crafty?  Your kids are going to love this one.  Instead of throwing out the case, make a laptop computer for your child instead!  They’ll go crazy for it!

How To Make A Ring

1.  Felt Flower Rings ~  Not only are these rings absolutely adorable, they are super easy to make and only require a quick trip to the craft store and a little hot glue.  Now that’s my kind of easy-peasy project!  {wink}

2.  Resin Rings~ I adore that these rings are made with items you may  have at home already like that bottle of Mod Podge!  You’ll need Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, Mod Podge, a strong glue, ring blanks, coins, scrapbook paper of your choice and embellishments of your choosing.   Think how unique every ring will be!  Love this 10 cent ring idea!

3.  Fabric Covered Button Ring ~ This step-by-step picture tutorial is wonderful.  I especially love it because if I’ve done my math correctly then I believe you can make these rings for about a buck a piece!  {{score}}!

4.  Pipe Cleaner Rings ~  This tutorial is perfect for a craft with the little ones!  You’ll find directions for making bunny ear rings and Mickey Mouse ear rings as well as directions for packaging them as cute as can be!

5.  Button Ring Tutorial ~ If you have a button collection, this would be a really fun way to wear some of your favorite buttons without sewing them on your clothing!  The only thing you need in addition to your buttons is a strong glue, ring bases and a shank cutter.

6.  Polymer Clay Rose ~ This tutorial shows you how to make one of the hugely popular polymer clay roses that everyone seems to be wearing.  Instead of putting it on a necklace, however, just adhere to a ring blank!

Crochet Rings

7.  Thread Crochet Rose Ring Pattern ~ Topsy Turvy shows us how to make 4 different rings using thread crochet and she knows what she’s talking about!  She’s made every style in every color!

8.  Easy Crochet Rings ~ Hustle & Sew made these cute crochet rings in one evening and said they go very quickly, so if you are looking for a quick project, this just might be it!

How To Make A Wire Ring

9.  Wire Ring Tutorial ~  This ring is gorgeous in it’s simplicity.  I think that you could give this to anyone and they’d be thrilled!  When you see how easy it is to make you’ll be astounded!

10.  Wire Knot Ring Tutorial ~ In this tutorial Handmadeology  demonstrates that just basic beginner tools and a wire from Michael’s can go a long way, and with those tools you can make a wire knot ring, a great present for a friend!

11.  How to Make a Copper Wire Ring ~  This is a great tutorial for making a copper wire ring.  There are step by step pictured instructions so that you shouldn’t run into any hiccups.  I really like the mix of copper with beads!

12.  Wire Heart Finger Ring ~  This is a super easy wire ring project that’s so cute.  Don’t you just love the heart shape?  All you need is a glue stick, wire, round nose and cutting pliers!

Homemade Rings

13.  Embellished Resin Rings ~ These rings are similar to the resin rings I featured above but with a bit more bling and sophistication! I think I’d better go out and buy some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic stat.  I am in LOVE with these rings!

14.  Resin Ring Tutorial ~  This resin ring is a bit different in that it uses photos or photo paper for the design on the ring.  I love the idea of a photo ring!

15.  Pipe Cleaner Rose Rings ~ I couldn’t not include this adorable pipe cleaner rose ring from No Biggie.  Wouldn’t it make a fun party craft?
