Repurposing wet wipe lids is a fun and eco-friendly way to create a portable, two-sided storage container. Perfect for holding small items like rubber bands or toothpicks, this DIY project is quick, easy, and highly functional. Below is a step-by-step guide for transforming two used wet wipe lids into a handy storage solution.
Materials Needed
- 2 empty and clean wet wipe lids
- Super glue or hot glue gun
- Small items to store (rubber bands, toothpicks, etc.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather and Clean the Wet Wipe Lids
Ensure both lids are thoroughly clean and free of any residue. This step is essential for proper adhesion when gluing them together.
Step 2: Apply Glue Around the Edges
Apply a thin layer of super glue or use a hot glue gun around the edge of one of the lids. Be careful to avoid adding too much glue, as it may seep into the storage space.
Step 3: Attach the Lids Together
Quickly place the second lid on top of the first, ensuring the openings face outward to create a double-sided container. Press down firmly and hold for a few seconds to allow the glue to set. Allow the glue to dry completely before using the container.
Step 4: Test the Openings
Once the glue has dried, test each lid to ensure it opens and closes properly. This will be your compact storage for small items, providing easy access from both ends.
Uses for the Two-Sided Container
This DIY two-sided container is ideal for holding small, everyday items like:
