Single use packaging

I know that many of us get caught out and forget to pack toothpaste or  our skin care lotionointment or sunscreen and this is a really cute easy idea to carry lots of things on your key ring.

Put a single serve of toothpaste, ointment  or what ever you like into a plastic drinking straw, cut off the end, use heated pliers to seal the ends and hole punch one end and hang from you key ring.  Handy when camping or traveling if you are only away for a couple of days or over night as you wont need to pack a whole tube of paste or moisturizer or suntan lotion, handy tip really.
 It is also good for single serve sugar, salt and pepper and even matches. ( the things you really want to keep dry) especially when camping.

give it a try and let me know how you go.

  1. Sounds alright except for any gases etc released from the plastic of the straw due to the application of heat...

    1. I doubt there would be enough to worry about and this is not the kind of thing you would do every day so all things in moderation as they say.
