Make Old New Again

In my infinite web surfing, I came across this RealSimple.com feature: New Uses for Old Things Hall of Fame.

Here you can find new uses for anything from toothpicks to dryer sheets, and they even have a kid's edition. One of my personal favorites was repurposing an empty ketchup bottle to easily dispatch pancake batter! Genius!

The challenge to come up with different ideas for various objects/junk/empties you already have around the house with the added bonus of recycling is fantastic. I will definitely be trying some of these great ideas out in our home.

Do you have any great tips or way you recycle/repurpose everyday items? Please share!
