Did you know you can use Silly Putty for a lot more than your kid's elementary school science project? Turns out the crazy clay makes a pretty great grip tool when trying to open that stubborn jar of pickles.

Simply place some Silly Putty on your palms and wrap around the jar or bottle. The clay's adhesive nature and texture will give you a better grip and you'll have the jar open in no time flat. Forget burns and rubs on your palms and get thee to the craft center!

And don't worry --- if you can't find Silly Putty at your local market, or if it's too pricey or kid-like, make do with what you have! Watch this video on how to make silly putty with stuff you probably have on hand or in the pantry. You'll have a handy jar opener in no time -- for less than five bucks!
