Sharing another Blogger's Work

I came across a really neat little coffee blog and I wanted to share one of their posts with you. (With their permission of course). So here goes (anything italicized is my thoughts or additions):

Paper coffee filters can be used for more than just filtering coffee.  Here are some uses and ideas that we have come up with for coffee filters.

1. Kid's crafts - with some markers, paint, and a wood clothespin, you and your children can make some neat butterflies using coffee filters. This would be great at a daycare or elementary school
2. Apply shoe polish. Lint free coffee filters will leave behind no lint pieces on your shiny shoes. This one I've actually tried, it works!
3. Sprout seeds. Use a damp coffee filter, place seeds inside, put inside a zip lock bag and leave until they sprout.
4. Out of cotton balls? They can be used to remove fingernail polish.
5. Use to clean LCD screens.  Comes in handy if you have misplaced your lint free cloth that typically comes with these electronics. Hmmm...I'm gonna start keeping a few coffee filters in my laptop bag.
6. Use as a disposable spoon rest while cooking. No counter mess, and no extra dish to wash.
7. Put baking soda in one, close with a twist tie, and use in closets, shoes, etc. to keep down odors.
8. Use them in a plate to soak up grease from foods. (Bacon, Fries, Chicken Nuggets, etc.)
9. Use while sewing as a backing for appliques, etc. It is easy to tear away when you are done. Need to tell my mother about this one! It'd come in handy with her quilting.
10. Cover dishes when microwaving food, no splatter to clean up!

So that is coffeemakeroutlet.blogspot.com 's big list of things to use coffee filters for. What do you think? Have you tried any of these tips? Or have any tips of your own to recommend?
