4- Toothpaste Tubes
If you’re an avid home chef, then you know that so many condiments come in clunky jars and bottles that have the tendency to hoard the product in their nooks and crannies. Instead of rooting around for some mayo with a butter knife, consider adding some dollops into a used toothpaste bottle. It sounds involved, but the process only takes a few minutes to complete!
3- Candle Jars
It can be hard to part with a burned-out candle—especially if the jar that it sat in happened to be extra ornate. So, instead of throwing it away, simply dig out the excess wax and make it into a decorative bathroom organizer or one-of-a-kind jewelry holder.
2- Old Light Bulbs
Before I learned of some of these repurposing tricks, I would, naturally, just throw out my light bulbs when they burned out. But, now that I know that they can be used as unique vases, solar lights, and even ornaments, I make sure to hold onto them to use for some homemade décor.
1- Pennies
OK, we doubt that you are over there throwing away your pennies, but we bet you rarely stop in the middle of the street to pick one up. In fact, we’re SURE that you have a jar of these suckers sitting in a closet somewhere. If that’s the case, consider using them as the shiny focal point in your next crafty DIY. The results can be unexpected, and seriously gorgeous!
