Cool uses for things hanging around your house

12 May 2010

I get Real Simple’s daily emails of cool finds. Today they had a link to their wonderful slideshow of 15 New Uses for Your Odds and Ends.

I love this stuff! Among the great ideas:

Use a singleton earring as a push pin on a bulletin board
Hang a skateboard on a kid’s room wall to act as a shelf
Turn old coffee cans into a wine rack.

I hope you enjoy these neat ideas (some of them are reader-submitted) as much as I did. If you’re interested in subscribing to their daily email, scroll to the bottom of the page, look for “Real Simple Newsletters” at the bottom and check the newsletter(s) you’re interested in. The one I get is “Daily Finds.”

I like the idea of the coffee cans for a wine rack. Sounds like a great Father’s Day gift!

Thanks for your comment, Kevin. If you make a wine rack out of coffee cans for your father for Father’s Day, you’ll have to let me know how it was received.
