2. Dog & cat dishes stay put. Cut to size required. A. O., Trumbull, CT
3. Donate to homeless shelters as sleeping pads. R. N., Minneapolis, MN
4. Use an exacto-knife to cut out shapes, letters, numbers, etc. Perfect for little fingers. C. M., London, ON, Canada
5. While taking my dog to the vet or groomer or just for a ride with the top down, her feet would scratch the leather going around curves. So I decided to take an old yoga mat and roll it out over the back seat of my car. Viola! She is comfy and can do her own version of Downward Dog without scratching my seats! L. S., Powell, OH

(20,924 posts)If you're a woodworker, a used yoga mat makes a good surface to sand pieces of wood on. The opposite side doesn't get all scratched up on the table when you're sanding, and it grips the piece so it doesn't move around so much. My Festool orbital sander attaches to the shop vac so there really isn't much dust to clean up either.

(8 posts)Some of the other ways are :
1.Cut it into small circles and use them under furniture legs to protect the floor.
2. Wrap it around that attic beam or basement pole you keep running into.
3. Put it under the litter box so the cat wont track stuff all over the floor.
4. Cut it to fit under slippery rugs to keep them in place.
