Nonskid shelf liner, that you can pick up at the dollar store or at yard sales, has all sorts of uses. I have placed it under my cutting board in the kitchen and under my mouse pad and keyboard on my very slippery desk to keep things in place while I work. It's also great to place under cakes and casseroles when you place them into a box to transport to a school or holiday function. The next time you see some at a bargain price, be sure to pick some up.
I'm a teacher, and the product is wonderful to use when students are using manipulatives (blocks, counting chips, etc.). A piece put on their desk or table helps muffle the sound of the manipulatives.
I love that stuff too and always have a few rolls in reserve.
An 8 or 10 inch square can be placed on a flat spot in your vehicle...maybe the dash or center console. You can put your sunglasses or keys or pen or whatever on it and it won't go skittering to the floor the first time you go around a corner or hit a bump in the road.
A small square of it under my sewing machine pedal keeps it from scooting out of reach under the table as I sew.
I have made several no-slip hangers for slippery or wide-necked blouses that used to end up on my closet floor. I cut a strip of the no-slip material (approximately 1 1/2 inches wide by 20 inches long). I make a small slit in the center to slide over the hanger hook and then tack the rest along the "shoulder" parts of the hanger. I just use a regular needle and thread and stitch several long stitches to hold it where I want it. I use the plastic hangers but I think the wire ones would work too.
I have a fairly large shallow plastic storage container (about 36 X 24 X 6 inches) with a snap on lid. I use it to transport decorated sheet cakes, several pies, casseroles...........you name it! Like Marie, I put a square of the non-slip "stuff" under each item so it will not slide around and get messed up. I love having the lid to snap on so nothing that might blow in, or around in, my car or SUV (like a leaf, grass, long strands of hair----grandaughter's) lands on my food.
I hope we get lots of tips for additional ways to use this product.
