Unexpected New Uses for Bathroom Items

New Uses for Dental Floss

• Unstick a photograph: Slide a length of dental floss under the corner of a photo that's stuck to an album page or another snapshot. Work the floss between the two surfaces to separate them without damaging the picture.
   
• Save a necklace: Rescue a busted strand by threading the beads onto dental floss for a quick, sturdy fix.
   
• Hang a painting: To hang lightweight artwork that's not in a heavy frame with glass, use dental floss in place of picture wire.
   
• String a popcorn garland during the holidays: Just thread the floss through a needle as you would ordinary sewing thread.
   
• Tie your hair back: If you don't have an elastic, use it to hold your hair before you wash your face.
   
• Cut a cheesecake: Use unwaxed, unflavored floss to slice any soft cheeses, layer cakes, or homemade cinnamon buns from a roll.
