Tens Uses for Nail Files

I managed to snag 50 nail files from Amazon for 10 bucks. After receiving them, I realized just how useful they are to have around the house. So I thought I would show you 10 useful ways to use nail files. That's one useful way for every dollar I spent.



1. Free with Purchase

I am an AVON representative. To keep my customers happy and coming back for more, I like doing gift bags giveaways and free gift with purchase items. I cannot spend tons of money so these came in super handy. A couple of these dropped in my gift bags or added as a free gift with a purchase of a nail polish.

2. Suede Touch-Ups

Use a nail file to remove mud and other various dirt and grime from suede. It's a great way to save your suede shoes.

3. Sanding Small Areas

These are perfect for when you are working with items where your large sander cannot get. Great for drawer corners and between the bars of a chair.

4. Emergency Box

Add these little, handy helpers to an emergency box with other hygiene essentials. They can be given as teacher gifts, to a bridesmaid that is running around helping with a wedding, or given out to the homeless for a more heartwarming feeling.

Nail files are great as bookmarks. They can also be turned into super fancy bookmarks too.

9. Christmas Ornament

Okay, so this one is stretching it a bit. But I thought this was super cute. I really like the idea of making these and adding them to the Christmas cards I send out. They are flat so that won't add extra mailing costs and you can send something your loved ones can keep or use.

10. Business Cards

This is an awesome idea. This is perfect for every AVON rep I know. The ones in the pic are created by a company, but these can be done at home for those that love to craft. Simply peel the sanding portion off one side then simply print out or information on card stock and trim to the size of the file. Adhere with a simple glue stick. Business on one side, party on the other.
