Sugru is a silicone modern miracle that creates endless possibilities. Seriously, though, this moldable glue straight up CHANGES lives after turning into a strong rubber. Here are 10 ways Sugru can make your home a better place.

Never Lose Stuff Again

Little pieces can be easy to lose, like that little adapter for your laptop power cord, but not with Sugru. This hack uses Sugru to attach LEGO pieces to two items so the LEGO pieces can be clipped together and never get lost.

Make USB Chargers Work For You

If you have a USB port inconveniently in the back of your computer or TV, you can plug in an extension cable and use Sugru to affix it to the side of your screen for better access. You can also use Sugru to create a plug hub that holds different cords together neatly.

Repair Worn Handles

Handles, like the ones your outdoor faucets, can get worn out and lose their grip over time with heavy usage. Just add some Sugru to refresh the handles and get back your grip.

Refill Travel Size Bottles

Once you get a travel size bottle, you just never want to let that adorable little thing go. So tiny, so compact. You can reuse them if you have some Sugru. Use Sugru to prevent spilling when transferring toothpaste or conditioner from a regular-sized bottle to a travel size bottle.
