It seems a shame to just throw it all away. Bubble wrap is great. It is one of the best ways to protect fragile items and furniture when moving, whether a long distance move or a cross-town move. While practically essential for packing or shipping, everyone knows the familiar feeling of giddiness when unpacking a box with items protected in bubble wrap. What&#8217;s more fun than popping bubble wrap? Not much. But, if you can hold off long enough from popping all the bubbles, there are many fun and useful ways to reuse bubble wrap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relieve the Stress<\/strong><br \/>\nOne pop and you can\u2019t stop! According to a not-so-scientific <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kwch.com\/news\/local-news\/study-bubble-wrap-a-great-stress-reliever\/30879088\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll survey<\/a>, one minute of popping bubble wrap is the stress relief equivalent of a 30-minute massage. If it is between bubble wrap and a relaxing massage, we\u2019ll take the massage. However, in a pinch bubble wrap could be just the remedy. Wrapping your friend\u2019s head in bubble wrap and taking shots is not recommended, but Joey and Chandler sure do look stress-free.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/qifqwgi19hIg8\" width=\"480\" height=\"255\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bubble Wrapped Gardening<\/strong><br \/>\nProtect your delicate plants from cold air and frost during the winter by reusing bubble wrap to insulate your garden.

Place your windshield wipers over a large sheet of bubble wrap so it doesn\u2019t blow away overnight. You will wake up to a frost-free windshield. If there was a snowstorm, snow is easily removed by removing the sheet of bubble wrap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reuse Bubble Wrap to Protect Groceries<\/strong><br \/>\nInsulated grocery bags are convenient for keeping cold food just bought from the grocery store at a safe temperature while traveling around doing errands or if you have a bit more of a trek home from the grocery store. Reuse bubble wrap to line the inside of a grocery bag keeping the items cooler for longer. It is also great for wrapping delicate produce in, such as tomatoes or ripe peaches, to prevent bruising or damage.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6699 size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tomatoes-in-Bubble-wrap-1-e1424446216635-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"reuse bubble warp_produce protection\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Artful Bubbler<\/strong><br \/>\nResourceful artists have already discovered many ways to reuse bubble wrap for different art mediums.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6697 size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/colorful-bubble-wrap-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"reuse bubble wrap_colorfulphotographs\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/dKf2G3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flicker by Dave Wild<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It has been used in photography for detail photos with colored lights and injected with paint to create masterful portraits or landscapes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YHllYTX8ZzE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of the ways to reuse bubble wrap after a move.
