Happy Friday, kids! Scroll on down for Today's Tip!
FOILED AGAIN!
I searched around on the net for some interesting uses for aluminum foil and
these are some of my favorites.
Homemade funnel. Make your own funnel by taking a couple/few layers of aluminum
foil and folding them into a cone shape. Snip off the bottom and voila! Instant funnel.
Clean BBQ grill grates. Ball up some foil and use it to scrape crusty bits off the grates
of your BBQ grill. You can also use this method to scrape rust off of metal things such
as shower curtain rods.
Sharpen scissors. Fold a sheet of aluminum foil several times and then cut through it
with dull scissors to sharpen the blades.
Save your steel wool scrubber. When not in use, set your steel wool scrubber on a
piece of aluminum foil that's been scrunched a little bit but is generally flat. This will
keep the scrubber from rusting.
Quick-shine your silver flatware. Take a glass pan and line it with aluminum foil. Put
several spoonfuls of baking soda in the pan and then fill it with boiling water. Drop in
tarnished silverware and it will quickly look shiny and new!
Last, but not least...........

That's the greatest tip Pam,,,,, I'll give it a try this weekend.
I also find that using it for a hat on my head helps to avoid hearing those radio signals from outer space...........
Great tips, but a really good one to add is window dressing u put it up on the windows. I am not really sure why unless it is to keep people from looking in, but the draw back is u can't look out either. Pammy I really like the one for the steel wool
