I have these 2 different sizes of styrofoam tubes from a package and I know there has got to be something I can reuse them for, any ideas?

They're great to stuff boots! I know that I could use them for all my boots that are flopping over in the closet.

I break up the styrofoam packing and use it to partially fill my larger planters.

I also use empty plastic bottles. The bigger the pot, the bigger bottles I use. Cuts half the soil and heaviness out of the pot!

I have covered mine with fleece that matches my sofa & love seat and that them stuck under just enough so you cant see them but it keeps my small dogs toys from going all the way under the sofa and the best part is she is no longer ripping up the the fabric underneath.

I've used similarly shaped tubes (that bolts of fabric are rolled on): just roll in quilt batting and covered with fabric to create poof valances that never loose their poof.

I used some to seal around window AC units. (trimmed up, of course :))

You know how trow pillows are to soft sometimes, how about wrapping them in bating or old sweaters, cloths and making a pretty case and turn them into pillows or for propping behind your pillows to read in bed.

if you covered it and used outdoor fabric would make great portable seat to take with you esp in a boat and styrofoam bounces back body heat so great to keep you warm…and it would be a floatation device if necessary…i am sure you would come up with good ideas….the noodles are good to stuff between breakables and art when moving packed tightly…
