You know what's nice? When something has more than one use. Nothing is more awful than having to buy something that only serves a single purpose. (Hey, furniture functions as a sleeping area!) Some things legitimately only look like they have one single purpose, but that's why we have lists like these!

Here are 15 brilliant new ways to use everyday items.

1. Nail polish is a great way to secure screws, buttons, and other things without it being visible.

2. Need to clean your keyboard buttons? 

3. A rubber band stops the door from being entirely closed. This is actually perfect for instances when you need quiet, like a baby's room.

4. Hate cleaning the paintbrush on the side of the can? Use an elastic.
