Reuse Plastic Lids

My daughter sent me this e-mail and it has some good ideas for all those lids that have lost their container and come spilling out of the cabinet when you open the door. I keep looking at them thinking there must be some kind of neat craft project that will jump out at me one day. Do you have other ideas for using all the excess plastic lids?

Have any plastic lids around the house? Here are 14 Useful Ways you can put them to good use:

1. Move furniture easier…Place lids on the bottom off furniture legs for easier movement.
2. Avoid sticky messes like honey, syrup, oil, etc….Place lids underneath jars or containers.
3. Keep twines untangled…punch a hole in the lid cover and place one end of string through hole.
4. Hamburger patties…Use lids to push down on the hamburger meat to form patty
5. Keep your earrings paired up…punch a couples holes in a lid and place your earrings.
6. Coasters…you can also decorate them if you’d like.
