Ah yes! That’s one of those little “household upcycling hacks” that feels oddly satisfying 😄. Detergent caps aren’t just trash—they can be repurposed in clever ways around the house. Here’s a list of practical ideas:
🟡 1. Mini Storage Containers
- Perfect for spices, beads, buttons, or small screws.
- Keeps tiny items organized and prevents losing them.
🟡 2. Paint or Glue Holders
- Great for craft projects.
- Pour a small amount of paint, glue, or resin into the cap — easy to use and disposable for messy jobs.
🟡 3. Seed Starters
- Use them to germinate seeds before planting.
- Add a little soil, plant the seed, and keep them on a windowsill.
🟡 4. Measuring Scoops
- Small detergent caps can be used to measure powders, spices, or even pet food.
- Works well if the cap size roughly matches your usual scoop requirement.
🟡 5. Cord Organizers
- Wrap earphones or charging cables around the cap to prevent tangles.
🟡 6. DIY Jewelry or Game Pieces
- Can be painted and turned into board game tokens, dice holders, or tiny jewelry holders.
🟡 7. Drawer or Shelf Feet
- Glue caps under light furniture, planters, or boxes to protect surfaces and reduce scratches.
