Simply Green: Those Odd Glasses

All of us have them. Those odd glasses left over from a set of glasses that started out as a set of 16 but slowly dwindles down to 2 or 3. You go buy a new set, but aren't sure what to with the odd ones you have left over. Don't throw them out! Reuse them in a new way. 

One of the ways I reuse old glasses.

Here are some ways I reuse our odd glasses: 

• Use them as pencil/pen holders. I have several odd glasses setting on or around our desk areas. I use the smaller ones, as well as the big ones. 
• Use the to hold utensils in for a buffet,BBQ, or a cookout. I line them with a cloth napkin first to keep the silverware from hitting the glass and breaking it. 
• Use the small or medium size ones for condiments. Put ketchup, mustard, mayo, or salad dressing in them when hosting a dinner or party. 
• Use the small ones to hold food items for an ice cream sundae bar. 
• Use the larger, taller ones as vases for flowers. 
• Use the small ones as candle holders. I placed a candle in one and place the glass on top of an upside down glass. Instant candle holder pedestal. 

Here are some other ways I found to use them: 

• Use them in you bathroom for toothbrush holders. 
• Use them as a flower pot. Start out with a few rocks on the bottom, then some soil. Find a plant and plant it. 
• Use them in your office area as containers for paper clips, push pins, and other office supplies. 
• Use them on your nightstand to hold your glasses in while you sleep.
• Use them as an instant speaker for your smart phone. By dropping them in an empty glass, it automatically amplifies the sound. 
• Use them as drinking glasses for a dinner or cookout you are having. There is something whimsical and casual about mismatched glasses and dishes. 

So the next time you are thinking about throwing out those glasses, stop and think of another way you could use them! 

Simply green is a good thing!
