If you are like most people, you finish a bottle of laundry detergent and toss the whole thing in the recycling bin without a second thought. But wait! Before you throw away that plastic cap, you might want to look at it through the eyes of a DIY enthusiast.
These caps are made of high-quality, durable, and colorful plastic. With a little hot glue and some creativity, they can be transformed into a genius organization system that will save you money and keep your small items perfectly sorted.
The “Worth Gold” DIY Organizer
The most popular way to reuse these caps is to create a Modular Small-Parts Station. Because detergent caps are designed with a “lip” (to catch drips), they are incredibly easy to glue together or mount to a surface.
What You’ll Need:
- Empty detergent caps: (The more colors, the better for coding!)
- Hot glue gun: and extra glue sticks.
- A base: This could be a piece of cardboard, a wooden plank, or even the inside of a cabinet door.
