Test tubes are not only found in laboratories and chemistry classes. They are versatile and practical tools that can also be useful in everyday life. In this blog post, we’d like to share with you 8 uses for test tubes in everyday life that will help you stay organized, exercise your creativity, and improve your daily routine.

1. Spice Storage

Turn your spice rack into a neat and aesthetic ensemble by storing your spices in test tubes. For example, these 160 mm x 16 mm glass tubes with matching natural corks are perfect for this purpose. Label the jars with a waterproof pen or stickers and place them upright in a wooden or acrylic test tube holder.

2. Organizing Craft Materials

Another way to use test tubes in everyday life is in the craft corner. Sort small craft materials such as beads, buttons, sequins or pins into test tubes or plastic tubes. You can keep the jars on a shelf or in a drawer and have your materials handy at all times. The jars can also be colorfully decorated and designed according to your taste, for example, if you do a lot of crafts with children.

3. Organization In The Bathroom

Arrange cotton swabs, cotton pads, hairpins or other small bathroom utensils in test tubes. You can place the jars on a shelf or tray and always have your bathroom utensils handy and nicely organized. Small apothecary bottles, or threaded jars with screw top lids, are also great for cosmetic samples and for bottling and storing for your next vacation.

4. Test Tubes As Mini Greenhouses

Use test tubes to grow small seedlings or cuttings. Place the jars in a test tube holder on a sunny windowsill and watch your plants grow and thrive. The jars create an ideal microclimate for plant growth.

5. Test Tubes As DIY – Flower Vases

Add a unique and modern touch to your floral arrangements by displaying individual blooms or small bouquets in test tubes. Tie a string or ribbon around the neck of the test tube to give it a rustic charm. Glasses with decorative beaded rims are great for this, giving the ribbon a good grip.

6. Organization In The Office

Keep your desk tidy by using test tubes to store paper clips, staples, rubber bands or other small office supplies. Not only are they practical, but they also add a touch of creativity to your workspace.

7. Test Tubes As Party Decorations
