How To Make ideas to make life easier

  • Step 1
    Hull strawberries easily using a straw.
  • Step 2
    Rubbing a walnut over scratches in your furniture will disguise dings & scrapes.
  • Step 3
    Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or computer screen with WD40.
  • Step 4
    Stop cut apples browning in your child’s lunch box by securing with a rubber band.
  • Step 5
    Overhaul your linen cupboard, store bed linen sets inside one of their own pillowcases & there will be no more hunting through piles for a match.
  • Step 6
    Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone & iPod in a bowl. The concave shape amplifies the music.
  • Step 7
    Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags.
  • Step 8
    Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily, who knew?!
  • Step 9
    Attach a Velcro strip to the wall to store soft toys.
  • Step 10
    Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the floor.
  • Step 11
    Find tiny lost items like earrings by putting a stocking over the vacuum hose.
  • Step 12
    Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting crosses into a box lid.
  • Step 13
    For those who can’t stand the scrunching & bunching: how to perfectly fold a fitted sheet. (I don't know if this whole pic is going to come out...it's pretty big. - Step 1 & 2 are the only ones missing & everyone knows that part.)
  • Step 14
    Forever losing your bathroom essentials? Use magnetic strips to store bobby pins, tweezers & clippers, behind a vanity door.
  • Step 15
    Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty soles rubbing on your clothes. And you can find them in just about every hotel.
  • Step 16
    A muffin pan becomes a craft caddy. Magnets hold the plastic cups down to make them tip-resistant.
  • Step 17
    Bread tags make the perfect cord labels.
  • Step 18
    Bake cupcakes directly in ice cream cones, so much more fun & easier for kids to eat.
  • Step 19
    Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper bag. Much healthier & cheaper than the packet stuff.
  • Step 20
    Install a tension rod to hang your spray bottles.
  • Step 21
    Turn your muffin pan upside down, bake cookie dough over the top & voila, you have cookie bowls for fruit or ice-cream.
  • Step 22
    Freeze Aloe Vera in ice cube trays for soothing sunburn relief.
  • Step 23
    Create a window box veggie patch using guttering.
  • Step 24
    Use egg cartons to separate & store your Christmas decorations.
