Coffee makes a great compost for your plants. So if you have some left over coffee from last year, don¡¯t throw away the bottle just yet. Use it to make a great compost for your plants. Some plants like rose like the acidity coffee provides and thrive on it. Mix the coffee with lime and wood ash and add to the soil. What you have is a great compost that will make your rose bushes thrive.

2. As deodorent for your fridge

Coffee makes a great natural hair dye. Thus, it's no wonder that natural ground coffee can be used to dye your hair.

If your furniture has scratches from years of use, don't just throw them away yet. The coffee can be used to dye the floor or furniture with a scratch. It's as easy as it sounds. Apply some coffee powder with a cotton and dab it onto the scratches. The coffee will lend a dark finish to the furniture and hide the scratches. You may have to reapply the coffee more than once to reach the colour you are looking for.

5. A scrub for your dishes

Creating an antique paper

facebook/Stephanie Rubiano

Give ordinary paper an antique look by dipping a few sheets of white paper into a mixture of coffee grounds dipped in water. If you want a greater antique stained look, you could paint the paper twice (with strong leftover coffee), allowing it to dry with each application. Once the paper is dry, brush off the excess grains.

10. As a coffee Popsicle

Blend until the sugar dissolves, pour into popsicle moulds and get licking on that hot summer afternoon.
