Unusual Uses for a Tennis Ball | ERA Home & Family Real Estate Blog

Just because your old tennis ball has lost its bounce, doesn?t mean it can?t serve up an extra use or two.

Here are some suggestions from Real Simple magazine for another winning stroke:

1. Bulb Remover

Use half of a ball to remove a warm light bulb from its socket.

How to Safely Cut a Tennis Ball

? Draw a line around the diameter or the place you want to cut.
? For extra stability, secure the tennis ball in a clamp.
? Wearing sturdy work gloves, pierce the ball with an X-Acto knife or a box cutter, then slide with steady pressure. (Dead balls give a bit more and are easier to cut.)

2. Comforter Fluffer

Speed up the drying time of bulky bedding by tossing a couple of tennis balls in the load.

3. Arm Weights

Cut small slits into two balls. Fill with pennies or sand, then seal with tape or superglue. Take the weights on your next power walk.

4. Spa Tool

Roll sore feet over tennis balls for a soothing massage.

5. Jar Opener

Conquer lids by using the rubber lining of a cut ball to aid your grip.

6. Makeshift Safe

Cut a slit in a tennis ball, then place valuables (jewelry, cash, etc.) inside. Just keep it far away from Fido.
