5. Survival Kit
No, we're not talking about a camping kit. This little survival kit is perfect to keep in your purse, gym bag, or even at the office. Instead, you should fill it with bandages, antacids, ibuprofen, a needle and thread, an extra button, and anything else you can think of. In case of emergency, you'll definitely have it handy.

6. Nail polish remover

These days, you can buy those handy but expensive nail polish remover capsules. You stick your finger in the remover, wiggle it a little, and before you know it, all your polish is gone. Well, you can make one from an old pill bottle by filling it with cotton balls and nail polish remover—that's it!

7. Center pull for your thread

No need to buy an expensive center pull to wind your own thread. Instead, you can stick the beginning of the thread into the pill bottle, put the cap on, and then start winding. This creates the natural space you need and it's completely free!
