Is that a banana or a hammer? You have just turned a fruit into a DIY tool!

While a banana may not be the most traditional DIY tool, it can be surprisingly versatile. Here are some ways you can use a banana to get the job done:

Hammer: Believe it or not, a banana can be used as a makeshift hammer. Simply hold the banana by the stem and use the body of the fruit to pound nails into a surface.

Polishing: The inside of a banana peel can be used to polish silverware, leather shoes, and even houseplant leaves. Rub the inside of the peel on the surface you want to polish, then buff with a clean cloth.

Tape alternative: If you're out of tape, a small piece of banana peel can be used as a temporary adhesive. Simply apply the sticky side of the peel to the surface you want to stick, then press firmly.

Glue: The sticky, sap-like substance inside a banana peel can be used as a natural adhesive. Apply a small amount to the surface you want to glue, then press the two surfaces together.

While a banana may not replace traditional DIY tools, it can be a helpful substitute in a pinch. Just be sure to use caution when using a banana for any DIY task, and always wear proper protective gear when necessary.
