14 Things To Make With Empty Tide Pod Containers

December 21, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

As the world moves towards more sustainable and eco-friendly practices, it’s important to consider the impact our waste has on the environment. One way to help reduce waste and promote reuse is by upcycling items that would otherwise end up in the trash. Tide containers, for example, are strong and durable, making them the perfect candidate for upcycling projects.

When upcycling tide containers, it’s important to make sure they are cleaned out thoroughly to remove any chemical residue that may be inside. It’s not recommended to use these containers for food as they are not food safe. With that being said, there are still many creative ways to upcycle these containers into something useful and decorative.

From organizing solutions to decorative pieces, the possibilities are endless with tide container upcycling. You can use them as a planter for your herbs or small flowers, or transform them into a handy storage solution for your office or craft room. You can also get creative and turn them into unique pieces of art or decor for your home. The containers are lightweight and easy to manipulate, making them a great material for DIY projects.

One fun idea is to turn a tide container into a lantern. You can cut windows into the sides of the container and add some battery-operated lights inside. This creates a beautiful and unique lantern that can be used both indoors and outdoors. If you have a few tide containers, you can stack them to create a more elaborate lantern that is sure to impress.

Another idea is to turn tide containers into DIY birdhouses. Simply drill a hole in the side of the container and add a perch. You can paint or decorate the birdhouse to match your existing decor. This is a great project to do with children, as they can get creative with their designs and have fun while learning about sustainability.

Upcycling tide containers can also be a great way to save money. Instead of purchasing expensive organizing or decor items, you can create your own using items that would otherwise end up in the trash. This not only helps the environment, but it also helps you save money and create unique pieces that are one-of-a-kind.

Upcycling tide containers is a fun and creative way to reduce waste and promote sustainability. From organizing solutions to unique decor pieces, the possibilities are endless. Just be sure to clean out your containers thoroughly before starting your project, and remember that these containers are not food safe. Get creative, have fun, and show off your upcycling skills with these unique and useful tide container projects.

The most common use for tide containers is of course PUMPKINS! they shape is already there and all you have to do is paint them orange. I love using Krylon orange plastic spray paint for coating my tide containers, the paint coverage is food and appears to be the most durable. Of course it comes in a Pumpkin color too.

So here are 14 different ways to re-use your tide containers, of course, there must be 100s of different ideas out there so make sure you share your ideas below in the comments of how you have upcycled your tide containers.  My favorite hack is the Lego head, its is so versatile for sorting toys or decorating for a Lego themed birthday party.
