Overview

  What are you going to do with those old toothbrushes lying around? How about the empty bath tissue tubes? The slivers of soap and empty shampoo bottles? Don't just toss them - repurpose them!

For our first installment of Unusual Uses for Everyday Things, we challenge you to find new uses for common objects you can find in your bathroom. Whether you've got 10 new ideas for a loofah or just one, we want to see what you come up with.

The top three winners will receive a special Sugru prize pack, and all finalists will win a spot in an ebook and a one-year Pro membership.  There's also a special prize for the entry exhibiting the best use of Sugru!

But you've only got two weeks, so go, go, go!
