Remember that stack of styrofoam plates I bought to make stamps? Well, I switched to recycled styrofoam meat trays for my stamp making needs because they're thicker. So what to do with all those plates. I found out they make the best disposable palettes! Even better, when leftover paint dries on the plates I can stack them (dried paint and all) out of the way. Whenever I need a color, I can browse through the stack and usually find it. Why didn't I think of this sooner?
Great idea! I use them in workshops as disposable palettes for participants and as they come in all sizes,even bowls, they're really useful and not expensive.
ReplyDeleteI don't use paper plates for their intended purpose so this never occurred to me before, Jeanette. I'm just happy I found a good use for all of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Finding a new use for something you already have (and not using) is, (as Martha would say) a good thing. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love to re-purpose things, Anita. I felt rather smug when I came up with this idea.:D
