Use a filter in the bottom of the plastic bucket to keep your tomato
plant's dirt from coming through when you grow tomatoes upside down in a
bucket.

When you run out of candy at Halloween, you can give a sheet of
coffee-filter paper instead. Watch the kid's eyes sparkle with delight.

I use it for a final filtering of beeswax - after filtering it through
tea-bag fabric.

Then I keep the wax impregnated papers to use for firelighters. They're
fragrant and efficient, far superior to the horrid stinking paraffin blocks.

mag i'm reading has these uses:

catch sticky popsicle drips
brew loose leaf tea if you have no strainer
leaves glass streakles
place between cast iron skillets to absorb any water
strain soup stock
place over cameral lens to diffuse light and soften image
place upside down over food to be microwaved
tie up 2 tbsp of baking soda in one and use as a closet, drawer, bin
freshener
embroidery stabilizer
use with remover to take off nail polish if you run out of cotton balls
