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 a giant pencil and adorable pencil shavings
I was looking around for some “artsy” ideas and I spotted a party hat that looked like the tip of a pencil. I then found a tutorial to make a whole giant pencil. These are super easy and looks like would be fun for all sorts of decorating and play. Pop on over to the blog A Girl and a Glue gun to see how to make giant pencil shavings and a giant pencil.

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
Maxine Miller says
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.
