10 Reasons Not to Pop Bubble Wrap: Here Are Creative Ways to Use It

A thermal bag is not very often needed – it is not surprising that not everyone has one. If you are one of those who have never had access to one, take a piece of bubble wrap – you can use it to line the inside of the bag when you need to keep food warm: the trick works very well for both hot dishes and frozen foods.

Do you freeze in winter because of drafts? Windows can be insulated with film – all you need is a little water: spray it on the window, then press the material against the glass with the side with bubbles, and it will stay in place all winter.

To do this, simply complement your white pajamas with an umbrella of the same color, on which strips of bubble wrap are glued – you can build such a costume in literally half an hour.

Bubble wrap can protect not only the windows of your apartment, but also the windshield of your car: just put it down and press it with your windshield wipers, and you will avoid having to scrape the ice in the morning.

A syringe and water with any dye are enough for this. Don’t know what to depict? Look for embroidery or knitting patterns, as well as pictures in the pixel art style.

A dustpan, broom or mop can rub your hands; if you use them for a long time, it can even cause blisters. But you can soften the hard surface by wrapping the handle in bubble wrap or securing it with tape or a few rubber bands.

The texture of bubble wrap can be useful when painting or sculpting: use the piece to leave paint marks or create relief in clay or modeling clay.

Drawers with sharp or heavy objects can get damaged. (Like your ears, the sound of them popping out is not pleasant.) Place a piece of bubble wrap on the bottom and you will protect the surface from unnecessary scratches.

Sometimes handbags and shoes come with special cardboard or foam inserts that help keep items from deforming during storage. If you suddenly lose the “padding,” use rolled-up bubble wrap instead – it can be shaped into almost any shape (for example, rolled up and stuffed into the top of a boot.)

It’s not just bubble wrap that has unexpected uses: find out what you can do with hangers and why you shouldn’t throw away an old dish sponge or expired T-shirt.
