Sugru Is The Home Hack You Never Knew You Needed

The Easy Home Fix For People Who Don't DIY

Are you a little kid trapped in an adult's body (and by body, we mean life)? Meet your new friend, Sugru.

The stuff looks an awful lot like Play-Doh, but it's actually a totally useful (read: adult-friendly) silicone rubber that basically hacks everything in your home -- nay, in your life -- together.

Created by designer Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, Sugru basically bonds to anything (seriously, everything from aluminum to glass to wood) and is waterproof, removable, durable, flexible and it can stand both extreme high and low temps. In short, it's the miracle cure for DIYers and home newbs alike who just want their stuff to work better (or just want to make things more fun).

The product's name derives from the Irish words for "play". And as the name implies, it comes in 10 different colors which, of course, can be molded together to create different colors.

Here are some common uses for the magical goo:

Make that old camera kid-friendly.
Sugru
"Glue" together old wires so they stop fraying.

Make those laces last just a bit longer.

Give your iPhone a bit more bounce.
