Cheap saw blade

If you use clingy kitchen plastic wrap, you can cut out the “saw blade” on the box when you’re finished with the wrap and use the saw for modeling.

I didn’t think it would work, either, until I took a piece of flat plastic and used the wrap’s blade to cut the plastic in half.

Razor saws cost about $10, while the plastic wrap is about $1-$3 and you’d normally pitch the box when out of wrap. Instead, cut the saw section out with scissors and attach it to a painter’s stick or something rigid to make a cutting tool.
