Sometimes the easiest solutions for things may just be a matter of thinking outside the box.

The blog BuzzFeed compiled a list of some new uses for everyday things you might have lying around your house.

These are some of our favorites:

1. Use a can opener to open sealed plastic packaging.

2. Amplify the volume of your iPhone or iPod by placing it in a bowl.

3. Use a lint roller to clean out the debris in your handbag.

4. Use nonstick spray on the inside of your votive holders.

5. Eat marshmallows to soothe a sore throat.

6. Use a cereal container as a trash disposal in your car.

7. Use (unscented) dental floss to cut soft cheeses and cakes.

8. Pack your shoes in a shower cap to keep the soles from touching your clothes.
