Kitchen Sponge for Exfoliating

A regular green and yellow kitchen sponge is awesome in the shower!

Pour on some body wash and scrub away! Great for exfoliating knees, elbows, and feet.

Not recommended for sensitive skin.

A very cheap way to keep skin smooth and silky!

Dish Soap Bottle

I felt bad tossing my dish soap bottle. Good thing I found these AWESOME tips for repurposing it on tiphero.com!


My personal favorites:

Clean thoroughly and use for:

- Add water and rinse hair
- Add water and fill up iron
- Add water + food coloring and play in snow
- Add oil and use for cooking
- Add chocolate and use for drizzling over desserts!

Shower Caps for Storing Shoes

What a great idea! Perfect for travelling or storing shoes (especially when shower caps are free at Hotels!)

I've seen a multi-pack of shower caps at the DollarTree as well.

Old Juice Carton to Create a Giant Block of Ice!

Why not clean out an old juice box and use it to create a giant block of ice? You can use this for ice carving projects or in coolers for summer picnics!

I wonder if I can create the perfect Jello square in this. Hmmmm.... :)

Screen Earring Display

I created a much lazier version of this screen earring display, but you are welcome to do it the way it's described.

I took an old frame from the dollar store, removed the glass, and stapled the screen to the back with a regular stapler :)

If you don't have a screen, I would imagine you can also use those bags that oranges or onions come in. Anything with little holes should do! :)

Repurpose Old Shower Curtains!

Before you toss the old shower curtain, why don't you try washing it in the washing machine?

Also, you can re-use it for picnics or as a tablecloth on a picnic table (if it's not grimy!)

You can also save it for your next painting project - a free drop cloth!

Powdered Sugar in Parmesan Cheese Container!

This blogger uses it for baking soda. I love the idea of putting bulk powdered sugar into an old, cleaned out parmesan cheese container. It would be so easy to sprinkle!
