I thought it was really neat and creative. All we have ever used those empty test strip containers for was to put more test strips in them...real creative!!
BUT this morning my husband surprised me with a "new" use for used test strips containers.
As I and Cara were walking down the stairs from getting her ready for school. My husband came up to us with a great big smile and something behind his back...Carrots & Strips he exclaimed
Carrots and Strips it was!!

| cleaned out test strip container with dip inside |
Cara got a kick out of it and I was pretty impressed.
and BTW Cara has her first loose tooth, I think it is time to get creative up in here...Thanks Heidi for your great crafting idea!! We now have 2 new creative ways to recycle :)
** Side Note: I have read other post of people using the strip containers for candies (nerds and such) however it has been brought to my attention that the test strip containers may contain chemicals in them** Use at your own risk**
I talk to my husband and he assures me he cleaned out the strip container.
LIVE AND LEARN I guess?!?!

I am pretty sure that the vials have some drying chemical in them to keep strips dry. Cute idea but something to look into.
Oh shit!! I know he washed them out good but I will look into that!
So glad you liked my little craft project!!! :)
Chemicals aside, I love your idea!!!! :)
Every now and then, we go through a fast-food drive through (McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A), and ask for extra dip. We tell them we like a lot of dip with our fries. Then we save the little containers and I pack them in lunch boxes with carrots, cucumbers and/or celery. With the exception of In N Out Burger, I generally hate fast food and refuse to eat it or feed it to my kids, but those little containers of dip are great for the kids. So every once in a blue moon we go and stock up on dip.
What a creative way to recycle! Let us know if you find out anymore about the chemicals ;) They really are the perfect "carrot dipping size"!
I LOVE THIS IDEA. I am forever looking for a tiny 'ranch container' to send in the girls' lunch boxes with their carrots. LOVE IT!
we've always used empty strip containers as sharps containers for her tester kit. yours and heidi's are much more creative. ;)
love the idea! Emma is so not a carrot kid...so I am gonna use the carrots and strips for myself...lol
