"  Pretty much everyone has toothpicks in their home\u2014but we&amp;#039;d be willing to bet not everyone knows the best uses for those toothpicks, beyond serving appetizers and checking to make sure the cake is done. Try these uses out and see just how handy these little guys are!   1. Temporarily Save Your Glasses Lose an eyeglass screw? Slide a piece of toothpick into the screw hole; add tape to hold things together until you can get them fixed.   2. Decorate a Cake Prevent mistakes by lightly sketching your letters and flowers in the frosting with a toothpick before you pick up that piping bag.   3. Prevent Shredded Tape Stick a toothpick to the cut end of packing tape so you can find it next time. We know\u2014brilliant.   4. Fill in Small Scratches Next time you have a scratch that you want to fill with paint, putty or varnish, use a toothpick to spread it along the scraped area.   5. Plug a Garden Hose Leak Break off a third of a toothpick and slide it into the hole until the edge is flush with the hose. Wrap waterproof tape around the hose to secure. Should get you through the season. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
