Medicine Bottle Hidden Key Safe
It’s easy to get locked out. And, sometimes, it’s nice to have a hidden key you can direct guests to when you’re not around. Epoxy a rock to the bottom of a Medicine bottle or small jar. Avoid metal lids as they tend to corrode over time. Once the epoxy is dry, simply bury the jar with a spare house key for emergencies. Just don’t let anyone spy on you while you’re hiding this home hack!
Grow Your Own Garlic from Regular Cloves
Like many “onion-ish” plants, garlic can be regrown using just a clove. Simply plant a single clove root end down and the next thing you know you’ll be warding off vampires and cooking like a proper Italian!
Cleaning with Baby Wipes
Baby wipes aren’t just for babies. Cleaning with baby wipes is really a snap. Keep a box handy all the time for quick cleanups around the house. Baby wipes make baseboard cleaning almost fun. Wet footprints are wiped out in no time with the swipe of a wipe. And for minor makeup messes in the bathroom, wipes work like a wonder. They’re not to replace regular, disinfecting cleaning. But to tidy up, baby wipes are a low-chemical, economical solution. Some are even biodegradable.
Magnetic Bobby Pin Holder
I get a little aggravated and impatient when I can’t find a bobby pin at that critical moment when you just need one. And more often than not, that seemed to be the case. I discovered that bobby pins and magnets go together like two peas in a pod. Once I made this accidental discovery, I decided to make something of it. I adhered a few inches of magnetic strip to the inside of a bathroom drawer. When I pull the pins out of my hair, they go straight to the magnet where they stay until I need them again. No more scrounging around for bobby pins with this simple bobby pin holder!
Catch Drywall Dust When Drilling Overhead
Trying to drill a hole in a ceiling can be a messy business! Next time, grab a small diameter disposable cocktail paper plate and drill right through it. The plate will then catch most of the dust and debris as it drops from the ceiling. Make sure to use a small diameter or clear plate, otherwise you’ll find it very hard to align your bit.
