Uses for Baby Wipes Containers

July 6, 2004

I get tons of coupons. The place I like to store them is a baby wipes container. There's lots of room and I never have to worry about losing the lid.

So our kids broke the lid off the diaper wipe box they kept their little toys in. Don't throw it away just yet.

I use the empty container to cover my electric outlets that my appliances are plugged into. It is extra wide to cover the entire outlet. I used 2 small screws at the bottom and top to secure it to the wall. My grandson was always trying to reach for the plug when he came to visit. Since I could not unplug the refrigerator I came up with this idea. It worked. He no longer reaches for the plugs because he can't see them.

I use empty baby wipe containers in the bathroom to store cotton balls, Q-tips, bandaids, shampoo, conditioner samples, and the list goes on. You can take the label off or cover and decorate them. They make nice jewelry boxes when covered to store earrings, bracelets, hair clips etc. They are great in the laundry room too for small items like dryer sheets and stain sticks. Also if covered nicely use in your office for paper clips, coupons and the list goes on! I am sure you can think of a few of your own. Just thought of another one in fact, make a mini first aid kit for the car. Include bandaids, first aid ointment, etc.

Take lid off, use container for small toys, books, crayons, puzzle and game pieces, sewing stuff-scissors, needles and thread, washing the baby down quickly, or for cleaning water for small job, storing extras in the bathroom-toothpaste, bars of soap or for storing lids to containers. I uses these containers everywhere. It saves a lot of money rather than buying containers. If you want to stack--leave lid on. You can also label or decorate outside.

I make babywipes! Use BOUNTY paper towels cut in half with electric knife. (other brands turn to mush) Fold to fit container. Boil 3 cups water-add 2T. baby oil and 2T. baby wash OR baby shampoo, pour over wipes until soaked through. This recipe makes enough solution for one half roll of paper towels.

I used to use mine to keep small toys for the kids when they were very young to help keep them entertained when we wold go on trips to the mall or anywhere else. Also you could remove the lid and plant herb plants in them.

1. Give them to you child's teacher. When I was teaching first grade I used them for everything!

2. Use them to pack up gifts for soldiers overseas. They are the perfect size and sturdy enough to make it there. They can use them to send things back, keep them, pass them on, or toss them.

3. Use them to store extra grocery bags wherever you need some-in the car, the babies room, the kitchen, etc.

4. Keep the covers on them and let you toddler use them as building blocks.. Extra bonus you can teach them to put things away by filling them up-an activity that they love anyway!

For the round (cylindrical) containers with the hole top center--use them to hold your yarn ball/skein while knitting or crocheting. Feed the yarn through the top--keeps it from rolling away!

This would also work with the pop-up style rectangular boxes.

I use them for the obvious ones - storing toys for car trips, tools in the trunks so they don't move all over the place. But I also remove the tops and use them in all of our dresser "underware" drawers to seperate undies, socks, longjohns, etc. And my husband made a play table for my daughter out of them. All you need is a glue gun and some patience. He glued the four legs together and the top he glue seperately on the ground with one box over what was needed. So that he only had to glue the perimeter of the securing edges in order to stabilize it. She adores it. Each outer corner he made with the opening side up, to store crayons, legos and such in. Good luck.

What do you do with all those baby wipes boxes that you go through while having your children? By using the same brand, but choosing different color packages you can make quite a collection. Then when they are empty, wash them out really clean and take the label off with "Goo-Gone"...

I use these wonderful wipes, then use the container for something else around the house. They are great for flat things. I have zip ties, rubber bands, office supplies for the car, hair ties/bands and makeup for the girls, first aid, spare glasses, and just about anything you want to keep handy yet dry.

You can re-use the nice white plastic container that Clorox wipes comes in. Remove the label and the lid and it works well for a lot of things.

I always buy 13 gallon kitchen garbage bags in the economy rolls. The roll fits perfectly in a baby wipe container, and I just fed the first bag up through the opening at the top.

I use a baby wipes container with pop up dispenser to put the lint from my dryer into. It holds quite a bit and when it's full I just open it up and dump into the trash and it's ready to fill again.
