New uses for cotton balls
Typical uses for cotton balls usually lie in medical and protection uses. However, did you know that this little ball of fluff can also have other helpful uses? Here’s four that may come in handy for you.
Teddy-Bear Stuffing
Has Paddington ripped and lost his padding? To add fluff, cram cotton balls behind the torn seam, then stitch him back up.
Shoe Resizer
Give roomy heels and ballet flats a snugger fit (so you don’t pull a Cinderella) with a few cotton balls tucked in the toes.
Fire Starter
Add cotton balls coated with petroleum jelly to your fire pit. Light them carefully and they will sustain a flame that spreads easily to wood.
Air Freshener
Soak a cotton ball in vanilla extract, then slip it into your vacuum bag to improve your carpet’s scent while you clean.
