Recycle your socks
Like everyone, I end up with mateless socks. They sit in a bag near the washing machine with the hope that one day I will find their match. I never do and hate to throw them away. Luckily, I found a great website on wikiHow with 23 ways to recycle your socks. Here are a few ideas that I found useful:
- Soothe your aching muscles by filling a long sock with rice and sewing the end closed. You can warm it on demand by placing it in the microwave with a cup of water for one minute. The water will keep the pack from drying out and bursting into flames ... which would be very bad.
- Keep clean outside by sliding a bar of soap into a sock and tie it to your outdoor faucet. This is great for gardeners and messy children.
- Store valuable and breakables in them when moving.
- Make a case for your iPod.
- Finally, who says that socks have to be an identical pair? Wear your mismatched socks with gusto and pride!
