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.

Celebrate the Year of the Snake by making a colorful one
I have seen some calls for snake art to celebrate the Year of the Snake and so I’ve been looking around for inspiration. This project that includes simple folding and a recycle tp tube is darling. I bet it would be fun with maybe recycled magazine pages? Slither on over to the blog Craftiments for the step-by-step tutorial on how to fold a colorful paper snake.
I would cover them with glue and tissue paper to make beads for a necklace. I’d like to give that a try!
This is a fun ping pong ball lampshade: http://www.poppytalk.com/2012/04/weekend-project-ping-pong-ball-pendant.html?spref=tw
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.
