Do you only use a tennis ball when playing tennis or fetch with your dog? There’s so much more you could be doing with that tennis ball! Check out these “curiously awesome” alternative uses for a tennis ball.

  • Cut a slit in it and hide your valuables inside. Just remember not to play with it!
  • Throw a few in the dryer to fluff up a down coat or comforter.
  • Fill it with pennies to use as a small hand weight. Make sure you tape it closed very securely.
  • Put them on the bottom of chair legs so you don’t scratch the floor or make noise when moving the chair.

  • Float it in your swimming pool to absorb body oils. Gross, but apparently it works.
  • Cut one in half and use it as a grip to open jars and bottles.
  • Place it on the end of a bike’s kickstand to prevent it from sinking into the ground.
  • Use one to cover a padlock so that the lock doesn’t rust or get covered with ice.

    Our break room at work has the tennis balls on the chair legs. I'd never heard of it until they did it.

    You do realize that that video was a fake, don't you?
