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.

How to make adorable fabric earrings perfect for gift giving
This one is new to me. I can’t say as I have thought of making earrings with fabric but these earrings especially the middle pair are beyond cute! Pop on over to the blog at Spoonflower for the tutorial on how to make three different types of earrings with scraps of fabric.
Best yet, once you make one, I bet you’ll want to make a bunch for all your friends this holiday season.
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!
Several ideas here

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.
