Dollar Tree Find

These are steering wheel covers. But I bought one to use as a headband when I wash my face. It worked perfect. I have others that I bought for $5.00 at Sally's years ago but these work just as well and they are only $1.00.

Has anyone found a product that is used for one thing but you have found a different use? Would really like any ideas

My 95 yr old mother wears plastic ponytail holders (Dollor Store) on her wrist w/her house & mail keys attached-home made charm bracelet. She says this way, she does not have to look for them or lose them. She perfers wearing on her wrist than around her neck especially when out & about.

She has various colors to match her outfits.

@Mz iMac When I sold fine jewelry as by back was healing from Dillards, we had our jewelry case keys on these!

@VenturaHighway A big thank you! I drive a black suv and my hands always get burned when I try to hold the steering wheel in the summer!

Those slip on the steering wheel when making quick avoidance turns.

Even more horrible if you use those slippy wheel covers while wearing knit gloves that also slip instead of grip.

If you have snow, ice, wet leaves, cars that cut you off, or kids that step out without looking:

better to use that pretty wheel cover on your head, and look for steering wheel covers that have a sure grip.

@Mz iMac My 93 year old mother does the same thing! Maybe they live in the same S Fl. community...wouldn't that be funny?!

A steering wheel cover for a headband?? How big is your head?? I haven't seen these in person but just the thought of them, they'd be way, way too big to fit on someones head. JMO

Those are really neat! I haven't seen those but I will have to check my Dollar Tree again to see if they have them!

@ID2 Apparently they are NOT too big for a headband...the OP says they work fine for her. You realize that you are, unintentionally of course, saying she's not truthful?

@ID2 My head is normal size and these fit perfect. JMO they might be really tight on a steering wheel. They are made of really soft material.

Maybe that's why Dollar Tree has them for sale. They probably won't fit most steering wheels?

I use Tassi.

Anyone who would actually put one of these beyond-el-cheapo covers on their steering wheels and actually drive with it on, should have a brain examination; so, I am revolted that these are even sold as such.

While I appreciate the headband tip, I think I have serious reservations with buying this item, knowing it is dangerous to use as advertised. The thought of someone driving around with this on their steering wheel makes me a little nauseous.

I bought two today! I usually throw a towel over my steering wheel in the summer when necessary. I think I will try one on my steering wheel and see how easy it would be to put on and take off!

@FLgardener I am leery of some of the products that this store sells but as with anything, one must use their common sense.

I use Tassi.

Elastic- one size fits all (except maybe tractor steering wheels). 🚜
