Today's Tip is:
Five Uses For Tennis Balls
1. Use them to remove scuff
marks--Remove black lines on
wood floors by rubbing them
with a clean ball.
2. Protecting a padlock--To
keep the lock on your shed
from rusting, cut a slit in the
top of an old ball with an
Xacto knife. Slit should be at
least 1/2" longer than the the
width of the lock. Slide the
lock inside to protect it from
the weather.
3. Great for hammering softly--
If you are trying to assemble
something delicate and don't
have a rubber mallet, a tennis
ball will soften the blow. Cut
an X into the ball, then push
the flat side of the hammer
into it and pound away!
4. Jar won't open?--Cut along
the white line of a ball until it
is split open, place one half on
top of the jar with the rubber
side down. This will provide
the friction you need to get a
good grip on the lid.
5. Bike kickstand need help?--
For better balance, poke a hole
or cut a small slit into your ball,
then slip onto the bottom of your kickstand.

Thanks, our year has gotten off to a hopping start.
DeleteIt is so hard to go back to school when there is
so much of the summer left!

Great uses for tennis balls! I know a few teachers at school who used them on the legs of the chairs so when the students pushed their chairs in, it didn't make any noise.
ReplyDeleteWe have ALOT of chairs at school with tennis balls
Deleteon them.

Oh my gosh, who knew about tennis balls!

One just never knows.
