Portable Spice Kit for Camping

Convert a 7-day vitamin/medication container into a spice kit – what a great idea!
The Handy Hausfrau takes the idea a bit farther with custom labels, I think I may skip that step and use a sharpie marker instead. Read the full article here

  1. Doesn’t everybody use these? We all have lots of used 35mm film canisters, right?

    I have to agree with Larry. This is a great idea for car camping. But, in a backpack, I think it would leak. Tic Tac containers work pretty well though.

  3. I’ve been trying to think of something like this but for plunger tea.
    My original idea was 6 or 8 Tupperware tubs that fit inside a bigger 1 but this could work.
    I’ll see if I can find one big enough.

  4. Larry Geiger says:

    Good idea. I would still keep the thing inside a zip-loc bag.

    I’m of an age where I use one of those things (a four week one :-) ) every day. I’m not so sure how well they seal with powders and things. They can keep pills inside but they do pop open when travelling.

  5. Shane A. Stillwell says:

    Just don’t get it mixed up with your other 7 day pill container or Monday and Tuesday are going to be some ‘hot’ days. :)

    Great idea!

  6. Interesting. I quickly looked at the directions, but I didn’t see if this was printed on a color laser printer or on an inkjet. I would think the ‘Modge-Podge’ would cause the inkjet ink to blur? I also wonder how water resistant the final product is? Applying custom labels like this to items would be useful.
