Our pantry is just a bunch of set back shelves in the kitchen. So I got one of those springie curtain rods and an old shower curtain and viola' all the food is neatly tucked away. 35) " Build a Hands-Free Washer " (see http://www.bse.wisc.edu/hfhp/) <snip> What about the shower curtain? Well, you could cut it into a couple of aprons to wear while you are using your new hands free washer. 36) cutting in quarters and making table covers for play dough 37) wrapping play dough for birthday gifts (the mom's love it). 38) cutting one up into strips and making a bunch of " hot water bottle " type of tubes and filling with cold water and tying off. (For heat prone people to use outdoors) 39) Get a water hose and make a slip and slide. 40) Drop cloth for picnic table when shucking sweet corn and then take husks to the horses. 41) Rake leaves on it to haul to compost bin. 42) Hang over clothes line for kids hide away. 43) On the picnic table for kids play day, finger paints and all. 44) A " Splat Mat " for under a high chair - let older kids decorate it first 45) Cut it for book covers 46) Line raised benches with it and make a floating bed 47) As a substitute for a " White Board " - tape up an old shower curtain. Erasable white-board markers will wash off and permanent markers won't bleed through 48. Cover outdoor plants when temperatures drop to freezing.
