When you're lacking pockets this can help keep your cash handy and dry-ish. Water resistance varies depending on the type of bottle you use. Applying a thin layer of silicone under the cap can help.

You will need:
- An empty prescription bottle, label removed
- Awl, drill, or other means of making a small hole in the cap.
- Durable string or cord. I used a soft synthetic yarn.
- Hot glue, waterproof craft glue, or silicone caulk.
 |
| Poke a hole in the center of the cap. Keep it small so it can be sealed up. |
 |
| Cut your string long enough to fit over your head easily. For women, I suggest aiming for cleavage-length so you can tuck it in. Double the string and thread it through the hole. A piece of tape wrapped around the ends will help. Knot the ends inside the cap. |
 |
| Apply a blob of glue at the hole then pull the knot tight to it. |
 |
| When the glue is set/dry, trim the excess string inside the cap. |
A 3" prescription bottle can hold a roll of bills, coins up to the size of silver/gold dollars, and standard keys.
Good for older kids that don't need much supervision, but a strangulation hazard for the littles.
