Reuse a Shower Curtain

Monday, June 14th, 2010

SO, what do you do with an old shower curtain? You could toss it where it will languish in a landfill for an eternity. Or you can:

(1) Use it under a high chair (toddlers are messy)
(2) Use it under a bird cage (birds are messy)
(3) Use it under a litter box (cats are messy)
(4) Keep it in the car for an emergency poncho
(5) Keep it in the car to lay on wet ground to change a tire
(6) Use to cover plants in the garden when there’s a frost warning
(7) Keep in the car to use on wet bleachers at a ball game
(8) Keep in the car to use under a picnic blanket
(9) Use a a dropcloth when painting
(10) Use as a tarp over the grill, motorcycle, or patio furniture
(11) Make a Girl Scout Sit-Up-On
(12) Sew a beachbag or tote
(13) As a temporary cover over a broken window
(14) Recover outdoor cushions or chairs

The list goes on…..

Shower Curtains

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Never throw away an old shower curtain.

There are lots of uses for them.

Suppose your skylight decided to leak and you can’t get to it on a dry day to fix it? Use a shower curtain to cover it. Anchor it with some elastic rope.

I’ve used a shower curtain as a ‘windbreak’ on the back side of a canopy tent at a garage sale and at craft shows.

They make great all weather covers for a lawnmower or motorcycle.

You can use them anywhere you’d use a tarp. Hold rocks/mulch up off the ground for easier moving.

Emergency poncho (sure, you have to cut it but it’s doable)

Emergency seat cover (in the car for someone that managed to get drenched in the rain or a pool.)

How do you reuse a shower curtain?
