We found this hack on the Crazy Russian Hacker YouTube channel where “safety is number one priority.” To make this tuna can buddy burner all you need is an aluminum can (doesn’t have to be tuna), cardboard and candle wax. This is a great hack for camping or when the power goes out! Cut a strip of cardboard the size of your can, roll it up and melt wax over it. When it is time to use your buddy burner, just light it using a match or candle lighter. This burner will last for hours!
This is a great hack submitted by Margee Moore over at moxiemom.com. Follow the link below to learn how she retrofitted her 1920’s American made stove. In her post, “How to Retrofit an Antique Stove” Moxie explains how she feared she’d have to get rid of this beautiful piece because it was a safety hazard. That is until she did some investigating and found the answer she was looking for. Thanks Margee for submitting this great hack!
Peeling potatoes can be quick and simple and Dave Hax shows us how in this short step-by-step YouTube video. All you need is a knife, potatoes and pot for boiling. Clean potatoes before you boil them. Then follow the simple instructions in this Dave Hax YouTube video. Medium sized potatoes should take 15 to 30 minutes to cook, depending on your elevation. For roasted potatoes, chips or french fries, Dave suggests parboiling instead of boiling, then peel as instructed in video. Finally, finish preparing potatoes according to your recipe.
This is a simple shabby chic hack for displaying photographs and/or postcards. In order to make this doorknob photo holder find an old or antique doorknob. One that has outlived its intended purpose. Turn the knob upside down and wrap a 16-18 gauge wire around the circular base tucking and wrapping the loose end a couple times to secure, and to prevent any jagged edge from sticking out. once you have wrapped the wire around the base a couple of times, bend the wire up leaving a couple of inches of straight wire, then bend into a concentric circle which will allow you to clip your photograph or postcard.
In this Chowhound YouTube video, Jill Santopietro shows us an easy way to make a funnel. Plastic bottles come in many different sizes with different size openings. Choose one that will work for the type of transfer you want to make, i.e. 32 oz Gatorade bottles work great for transferring grains like flour or oatmeal, whereas a 12 oz. water bottle top works great for liquids such as juice, wine or water. I absolutely love this plastic bottle top funnel hack!
This accordion rack jewelry organizer is a great organizational trick to keep jewelry options clearly in your line of vision. Out of sight, after all, is out of mind.

Just hang an accordion coat hook rack near the spot you make your daily wardrobe decisions, such as a walk in closet or your dresser/bedroom mirror. Easily hang your favorite necklaces, rings and bracelets on the hooks and there you have it!
