Storage Case

Newspaper

What can you do with an empty bottle of floral water, a bottle of neutral base, or any other bottle you have at home? If you've run out of ideas for reusing your old packaging, here's an easy and practical tip!

This storage case can be used by you or your children as a pencil case, or to hold beads, marbles or even makeup brushes.

Materials required

  • Your bottle of neutral base 400ml
  • A piece of cloth (approx. 15x18cm for the floral water bottle)
  • A pair of scissors
  • Hot glue gun (optional)
  • A cutter
  • String
  • Thread and needle

Precautions

  • Before you start, remember to protect your work area so as not to leave glue marks or damage your table.
  • Remember to clean your empty jar or container before you start.

Stages of production

1 - Start by washing your empty bottle thoroughly, removing the label (if you have trouble removing it, don't hesitate to let the container soak in lukewarm water, or use nail polish remover to remove the last traces of glue).

2 - Using a cutter, cut off the top of the bottle. You can use a lighter to smooth and soften the rim once the cut has been made, if required.

3 - Cut a rectangle of fabric the size you want. Stitch a seam along the top edge of the fabric for the cord or string you'll use to close your case.

4 - Thread your cord with a safety pin.

5 - Sew the two edges of the fabric (right and left) together to form a band that you can slide over your bottle.

Assembly

There are two options for assembling the fabric part and the bottle:

OPTION 1
Using hot glue.
Slide the band onto your bottle and glue it in place with hot glue for about 1cm, to ensure that it stays in place.

OPTION 2
Heat a needle with a lighter to make holes all around the top of the bottle you've cut out.
Make the same holes in your fabric.
All that's left is to insert the fabric band around your flask and thread through the holes in the fabric and flask to secure the two together.
Your case is ready.
Now you can slip in all your little treasures: pencils, markers, beads, brushes, toothbrushes or make-up brushes!

WAAM tips

If you like, you can then make pom-poms from the same rope or wool and add them to suit your taste.
You can adjust the height of your case as you wish by cutting your bottle more or less. Why not personalize your case even more for your child?
You can embroider your child's first name or the word of your choice on the fabric.
