  1. Create the perfect shaped pan. Use the aluminum foil to create special shapes like hearts, bears, and numbers inside your regular cake pan. Just crumple up balls of foil and place where needed to form the shape. Then put another layer of aluminum foil over the entire thing so you have somewhere to pour the batter into.
  2. Make fabric softener. Out of fabric softener? Wad up a ball of aluminum foil and throw it in the dryer and dry normally. The foil will help remove the static cling from your clothes so this would be especially helpful in the winter.
  3. Keep your slow cooker clean. Before you cook anything in your slow cooker, especially if it’s something really sticky like lasagna, line your slow cooker with aluminum foil. Once you are done cooking, simply remove the foil and toss. No dishes to wash!
  4. Keep the critters away from your trees. In the fall, wrap aluminum foil around the bottoms of your trees to prevent rabbits, deer and other creatures from chewing on the trunks. Make sure to remove right before spring.
  5. Keep matches dry. Going camping? Wrap your matches in aluminum foil first so no moisture can get through to them.
  6. Make a funnel. Don’t have a clean funnel on hand and you need one? Use the aluminum foil to form the shape of a funnel and use it in the kitchen, in the garage, or anywhere you need a funnel!
