Laundry Detergent Caps

We were talking about this earlier today,so it's still on my mind...

I admit it. I am a pack rat when it comes to those colorful laundry detergent caps. I cannot part with them. From time-to-time, I consider what I can make out of them. I just found a site with numerous suggestions. One of my favorites was to make a small hole in the cap, fill with water, and then place on the soil of a potted plant. This creates a slow-release watering apparatus.

I have a thought to make a light fixture panel. maybe take a peg board, put small white string lights through the holes, and cover with the plastic laundry caps. This needs more thought since I am not sure that the caps will stay in place.

Talking with a co-worker, we discussed inverting the caps,drilling holes in them, putting small white string lights in them, and use them a lanterns. I will need to search the web for string light options and any fittings that may be available. I will keep you posted...
