This has got to be one of the neatest compilations of DIY inventions I’ve ever seen. that site takes 25 ordinary items and finds new and creative ways to convert them into something completely different and totally useful. It’s not in English, but you really don’t need any explanation, the pictures speak for themselves.

Topping the list is a chopstick hack that I wrote about a while back. All you need is a clothes pin and a pair of chopsticks and you can put together a set of spring-loaded chopsticks. Great for kids! Here are a few more of my favorites on their list:

• Stamp nails - Have you ever seen postage stamp designs and thought they would manufacture funky nail art? Well, whether you haven’t, you’ll start noticing them now, considering that is one cool project. All you do is cut out the nail shape from the stamp and stick it on your nail. I imagine you’d apply a top coat of clear
  polish to finish them off.
• Cactus soother - I have to confess, that one seems awfully cruel, but whether you’re looking for a quick way to ween your child from the soother it just might work. Replace the nipple with a mini cactus bud. Your little one will never signal for his soother or love you in the same way ever again!
• Dish cloth hanger - I have a few hooks around the kitchen where I hang dish cloths. The cloths are typically on the floor, having slid right off the hook. that intelligent little hack takes the clip out of a binder, pegs it to the wall and gives you a secure place to hang your dishtowel.

You’ll find all sorts of little treasures there, like inventive uses for tennis balls, beer cans, goggles, tissue, flower pots, rubber gloves, sponges and more. Which one is your favorite?
