Corkboard
Soak it up. Cut a corkboard liner for the bottom of an umbrella stand.
Place under doormats, seat cushions, and laptops — anything on a slick surface — to keep them from sliding around.
Store hair accessories. Mount the corkboard on a wall and hang thin hair bands, elastics, and clips with thumbtacks or hooks.
Slip corkboard sheets under plates for a new take on place mats. Use letter stamps to personalize them with family members’ names or an appropriate message (“Bon appétit!”).
Cut into four-inch squares to use as minimalist coasters.
