5 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Erasers

If you thought your eraser was just for fixing unwanted pencil lines, get ready to be amazed by the incredible things you can do with it. Here are 5 things you didn't know you could do with erasers - and no, it's not just for kids!

1. Artistic Drawing with Erasers

Erasers can be used to create textures and shadows in drawings. Simply cut the eraser into a shape that fits your work and use it as a stamp on the paper.

2. Changing Direction of Small Screws

Sometimes small screws get stuck or are hard to reach with a screwdriver. Use an eraser on the tip of a pencil to carefully turn them.

3. Eraser as a Sewing Accessory

You can use an eraser to hold sewing pins. Just stick the pins into the eraser to keep them organized and not scattered.

4. Eraser for Holding Earrings

Lost the back of an earring? A small eraser can serve as a temporary back to keep the earring in place.

5. Preventing Slippage of Items

You can cut small pieces from an eraser and stick them to the bottom of objects (like a picture frame or the base of statues) to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces.
