Top 4 Interesting Ways to Use Rubber Bumpers Around the House

Self-adhesive rubber feet are great to have around the house. You will find them already on the bottom of many small appliances in your kitchen and on your computer equipment,

Here are some ways to use them in different places around the house that you might not expect:

1 - On the backs of picture frames: Trying to keep your artwork in place on the wall? Add small hemispherical rubber feet to the four corners of the frame to help keep the frame in place on the wall.The feet will grip the wall and you'll never have a crooked picture frame again.

2 - On the bottom of your cutting boards: A slippery cutting board can be dangerous. Put cylindrical rubber feet on the bottom to help keep the cutting board from slipping away. The cylindrical feet provide a nice flat surface to really grip the countertop.

3 - On shelves to display upright pieces: If you want to prop something up in a cabinet or on a shelf, use a couple of strategically placed rubber feet (the tapered square rubber feet in clear are a good choice) to keep the items from sliding forward. If you buy them in clear, you'll never notice them, even on lighted glass shelves,

4 - On the walls: There's at least one in every house - a cabinet door that swings open further than it's supposed to. If the door is suddenly flung open, you might have a dent where the cabinet door meets the wall. After reaching for the spackle, put a self-adhesive rubber foot on the wall to protect where the door meets the wall. Bonus tip: the rubber feet can be painted right over with your wall color to camouflage the bumper and make it less noticeable.

Think of ways you might be able to use rubber feet around the house. Be creative - the possibilities are unlimited.
