I love to find interesting ways to reuse stuff I was going to throw away. Here is a running list of ideas for turning "trash" into treasures that you can use around your house. If you have any ideas for reusing stuff around your house, let me know and I will add it to this list!
1. Paper Towel or toilet paper tubes as a hair tie holder. I thought it would be cute to paint the tube or wrap it in scrapbook paper... Secure all your hair ties to the tube...barrettes or bobby pins can fit nicely on the top.
2. New shine to old shoes: add a dab of veggie oil to a rag and rub gently on patent leather shoes. It gives a beautiful shine and makes them look brand new.
3. Tiny travel sewing kit: Get a match box...tuck a few essentials into it and hide it away in your overnight bag for emergencies. This would also fit securely in your purse or glove box.
4. Kleenex box for a plastic bag holder. Shove all your bags you get at the grocery store for an easy grab when you need them.
5. Rubber bands used to hold tank tops or strappy dresses on hangers. If you don't have those hangers that have the holes specifically for tank tops, why not tie some rubber bands at the end of the hanger. These keeps your tanks nice and secure without falling off.
6. Contact lens container for a pill container when traveling. Empty contact lens cases work perfect for a pill container. If fits easily in a purse, pocket or carry on.
7. Use a clear elastic band to keep flowers nice and tidy in a vase. Secure a band around the bottom of the flowers and let them fall naturally
