Whether you have one lying around or you pick one up or even customize to your own needs, lazy susans can be a big help around your house. Keep a lazy susan in the kitchen; it's the perfect tool for decorating cakes and assembling layered desserts and appetizers. It allows you to turn the item so you can easily assemble without stopping to turn the dish every couple of minutes. You can also use a lazy susan to help you arrange flowers, turning the vase as you work it will give you a pretty arrangement from all sides. A quick tip, I like to cut a round of non skid padding for the top of the lazy susan so my dishes and vases don't slide around on top of them. In the workshop I use a lazy susan for painting projects, especially spray painting where you can easily miss a spot if you're walking around the project. Make a custom spray paint lazy susan by driving several nails through a piece of scrap wood and then set it on top of the lazy susan, the nails will hold the project up in the air so you can get to all sides, as well as the top and bottom with ease. When you're spray painting, don't forget to cover your lazy susan with some aluminum foil to protect it.
