Cheap Practicality (or Practical Cheapness) (or just frugality)

[Danger]

Many of you here are used to the idea that I design and/or build useful devices of a mechanical nature out of **** that I've had lying around the house for 40 years. I do believe, however, that I have now come up with the ultimate (non-mechanical) recycling idea.
My house is totally littered with both used toothpicks and cat hair. It occurred to me last night...
...I now make my own Q-tips.

Anyone else have such practical uses for stuff that people think is waste?

I think you may need to come up with one more item like a home made bucket 'cause I'm going to lose my lunch.

I'm not sure what you use your Q-tips for. I'm referring to their proper purposes of cleaning small objects and applying touch-up makeup on Hallowe'en appliances. If you have some usage more aligned with your genitalia, I don't want to hear about it. :yuck:
