I was trying to get a knot out of a pair of jogging pants the other day when I found one of those cheap watercolor set paintbrushes lying around. You know the ones, you can buy them at the grocery store in those yellow plastic boxes for a dollar with the little circles of watercolors in them.
I used it to untie the knot, and because it had a blunted end and it was flexible more or less, it was a great tool to use. I will be keeping it around for that use, since the watercolors are long gone.
Blessings.
There are many uses for paint brushes, other than painting. Some of these are:
Cheap paintbrushes are nice to use to dust hard-to-reach spots like between computer keys, creases in lampshades and so on.
As a founding member of the 'Cheapa-Fillipa' club, I am always looking for ways to beat the price. My latest search started after I recovered from cancer and decided that part of the process to feel better was to look better.
When cleaning pleated lampshades, slatted windows, or doors, I use a paint brush. It is really easy to get in the corners where the dust collects the most.
