Hello all my wonderful Craft Gossip Recycling readers! Jean W. sent in an email asking if I had any ideas on what to make with the little balls from deodorant containers. Her husband has been saving them and doesn’t know what to make with them so I am putting the call out to you all to see if you have any ideas? Leave a comment or a link if you have seen something fun you could make with these.

DIY Wire Spool Coffee Table: A Stylish and Sustainable Home Project
Looking for a fun and eco-friendly DIY project that can transform your living space without breaking the bank? The DIY Wire Spool Coffee Table from Twelve On Main is just the thing! This project takes something as simple as a wooden wire spool and turns it into a chic, functional coffee table with a cool, rustic vibe. Whether you’re into farmhouse style, industrial décor, or just love a good upcycling project, this coffee table is sure to steal the show.
What’s great about this project is that it combines sustainability with style. Repurposing old wire spools into a coffee table not only gives new life to something that might have ended up in the trash, but it also gives your living room a unique, rustic touch. It’s a fun way to show off your creative skills and make a piece of furniture that’s totally one-of-a-kind.
But let’s be real: DIY furniture projects can sometimes feel overwhelming. The good news is that this wire spool coffee table is surprisingly easy to make, even if you’re not a seasoned DIY-er. The step-by-step instructions provided by Twelve On Main are super straightforward, and with just a few tools, you’ll have a beautiful coffee table that will wow your guests and be a great conversation starter.
I would cover them with glue and tissue paper to make beads for a necklace. I’d like to give that a try!

I think she could substitute the deodorant balls for any craft using ping pong balls. Pinterest has a boat load of them!

Cover with yarn to make balls for cats. I have some Icy Hot roll on balls for that purpose. You can sell them at Etsy or another craft selling place.
You could put them inside monkey fists instead of using steel ball bearings.
