How to Make a Pill Box

Pill boxes allow you to carry a small amount of medication with you. This is especially helpful for people who need to take medications throughout the day. If you do not have a pill box, it is easy to make one at home, using materials that you might already have or that can be easily and inexpensively purchased.

Instructions

• 1

  Remove the matches from the match box. Place cover of the match box on the reverse side of a sheet of adhesive paper. Although it is called "paper," it is actually plastic that will wear for a long time and decorate your pill box well.

• 2

  Draw a line around the match box as it sits on the adhesive paper. The grid that is on the reverse side of the paper will help you measure and draw straight lines. The outline should be slightly bigger than the match box cover.

• 3

  Cut the paper, and peel the backing from the paper. Cover the box completely. Using a damp sponge, smooth out the paper carefully. Miter the corners and fold them up inside the box.

• 4

  Decorate with adhesive paper of another color. You can cut out various shapes, such as hearts or stars and place them attractively on your pill box.
