Sometimes we find ourselves without a proper spoon, like when we buy a snack such as some yogurt or even a little meal to eat, only to realize we forgot to also get cutlery.
In this case, you can turn aluminum foil from your yogurt lid into a makeshift spoon by folding it to the right shape.
Keep Your Fireplace Clean
One of the most annoying things about owning a fireplace is the sheer abundance of dust, soot, and ash that accumulate fairly fast, especially if you use it often. It's not an easy job to clean these all up, and they have a tendency of turning everything in the house black when you do.
You can solve this problem by placing a double layer of aluminum foil under the fire next time you're going to use the fireplace. The foil will gather all the dust and ash into one easy pick-up pile. Once you're done with the fire, give it a few hours to cool off, gently check that it's now at room temperature, and just fold the aluminum-containing all the leftovers into a ball that goes straight into the trash.
Curl Your Hair
If you ever need to curl your hair and all you have is a straightening iron, there's no need to fret, simply grab some aluminum foil. Divide your hair into half-inch strands, roll upward from the ends, and wrap the curl with some aluminum foil.
Clamp the foil with a hot straightening iron for just a few seconds, remove the foil, and watch your newly designed locks emerge from their cocoon.
Make Planters
Aluminum also comes in the form of soda cans, which you can repurpose into a little garden.
All you need to do is wash out a can, cut off the top, and fill it with soil. Small plants like succulents will thrive best in the small aluminum planters, but you can also try growing herbs like mint or parsley.
Create Some Frames
Are you in desperate need of a new frame but not keen on buying one from the store? Why not fashion one out of aluminum foil?
You could also use aluminum foil, old soda cans, or even used coffee pods to create a mosaic from your drinks to frame a mirror.
