Clever uses for old yoga mats…
1. Cover the floor in your hall closet with this easy to clean material so you can store dirty boots with out leaving a mess.
2. Cut the mat to fin in an old picture frame and hang in a kid’s room or utility area as a bulletin board.
3. Cut a 5” x 5” square to use as a grip to help unstick stubborn jars or containers.
4. Trim to size and place under sofa or chair legs to protect the floor from scratches.
5. Snip a mat into strips to tuck into gaps in windows and doors to prevent drafts.
If I can count on you, and you can count on me, just think what a wonderful world this would be.
