Woolworths Disney+ Ooshie fans are sharing clever tricks to use up their spare collectibles.
Ooshie fans have been turning the plastic collectable figurines into fairy lights, car tyre valves, earrings, fishing lures and even chess sets.
1. Fishing lure
Fishing angler, Mark Pace, says they’re very good for catching fish.
The fisherman has shared photos and a video to show just how well glow-in-the-dark Ooshies work for luring in whoppers.
Another keen angler has shared a hack on Facebook of how she recycled her unwanted Ooshies into fish lures.
A photo shows how the Disney+ collectibles appear to have been stretched* to form a long fish-like shape.
2. Tyre valve
Another collector shared, “Doing something a bit different, locking Ooshie tyre valves,” he wrote on the Coles Little Treehouse & Woolworths Disney+ Ooshies plus others Swap Group page.
3. Christmas lights
Another shared, “My son has found a good use for his Ooshie collection … LED Christmas tree light covers,” he wrote on the Woolworths Disney+Universe Ooshies & Lion King Ooshies Australia page.
“Always check first with an electrician if the LED lights are OK before doing this. Most LED low voltage Christmas tree lights are safe to do this.”
4. Game of chess anyone?
Another collector shared her clever chess board trick, “One way to use up our doubles!” she wrote on the Woolworths Disney+Universe Ooshies & Lion King Ooshies Australia page.
“Team Star Wars vs Team Disney, but time to get a bigger chessboard.”
5. Earrings
Even a pair of Ooshies earrings were created from spares.
