Rubberbands

I love rubberbands, I use them all over the house, I'll give you a couple of ideas and you'll find your self hooked too!  

1. If you need to remove a nail, criss-cross a couple of rubber bands over the top of the hammer. The rubber bands will protect the surface that you're removing the nail from. 
2. If you're always trying to figure out how much paint or stain is left in the can, after the next project try this. Before you close the can, stretch a rubberband around the outside of the can at the level of the paint. This way you can easily see how much you have left of any one color!  
3. We've all seen those thick rubber bands on our fresh produce. Don't throw them away; they are the perfect tools for opening a stuck jar lid! Stretch the band around the lid and twist. It makes a perfect grip. This also works on those sticky soda pop bottle tops!  
4. If you're taking a dish to pass to a friend's use a couple of rubberbands over the lid and then the handles to hold the lid in place. 
5. If your cutting board is slides all over the place, slip a rubberband over each end to keep it in place. 
6. If you're always losing your place in your favorite book, slip a rubberband over the page out to the cover, you won't lose your place!
