Toilet paper roll trick - I saw this on someone's facebook - if you have a traditional vacuum and, like me, lost your attachments long ago, you can affix the toilet paper roll to the end of your hose and use it to clean out windowsills etc. Since it's carboard and flexible, it can even get in tighter spots than your hard plastic attachment would. :)

I reuse toothbrushes just as you mentioned, but I always ‘tag’/paint the bottom handle with nail polish. This helps let everyone in the house know that it is now a cleaning brush.

@molo3986 4 года назад

I take the end of a paper towel roll and duct tape it to the end of my hand vac with the long stick on. Then, I stick it down where the dryer mesh comes out. It will reach way down and suck up all the leftover lint. You can squish the paper roll and make it narrower. Your dryer will be more efficient & hotter.

Since hand washing is vital a great solution is to reuse our large liquid laundry detergent dispenser. Fill with water and you have a way to wash your kiddos’ hands where sinks aren’t accessible. Overuse of hand sanitizer kills our good bacteria that protect us. Soap and water are safest and most effective.

@BbGun-lw5vi 4 года назад

Brittany, you have a unique brain that is always innovating. Yet your logical side is so strong and brings structure to every new idea. You are by far the best at coming up with videos that combine creativity with practicality. It’s really difficult to get this combo right. Other people on RU-vid either get too creative where their tips are not useful. Or they’re useful, but it’s obvious, boring stuff. An added bonus about your videos is that you’re always aware of the aesthetics. You don’t let aesthetics be the priority but you do understand its importance.

@sherbear2016 4 года назад

Hi. I have a lot of beautiful calendars too that I save at the end of every year. I finally looked up uses for them and a couple of ideas are making your own gift bags. Fold, glue, punch a couple of holes for the handles and use leftover ribbon, thin rope or even yarn for the handles. Also use pretty calendars to make journal covers on those composition notepads my kids use for school or any plain sturdy note books.

@Marie-of6fp 4 года назад

One of the things I love that I have repurposed is the Larger 48 oz Skippy Peanut butter plastic jars (Sam's Club). I clean them out and remove the label, then use chalkboard label and use them for cookies, chocolate chips, snacks, nuts, powdered sugar, rice etc. Pretty much most dry goods and snacks work as they go stale in the original package once opened. These jars have extra wide mouth so you can fit your hand all the way in. Love these as it preserves the food longer and it is see through so you can see how much you have left.

@shellymac7597 4 года назад

Thanks for the great tip.

@jeanvignes 4 года назад

Great idea. I can't go through that much peanut butter, but maybe I can work out a deal with my nieces who have lots of kids: I'll keep you in peanut butter for a year if you'll give me back the containers. :0)

@kivs3007 4 года назад

Marie I do the same thing but with spaghetti/pasta sauce jars remove the label/glue with an abrasive scrub pad or just put it in the dishwasher and the label/glue usually comes off easily if I take it out straight when the dishes are done and its still steamy. Plus! Majority of the time they are actual mason jars so it’s cute and a lot less costly then going out and buying one because of how trendy they are nowadays. Such a steal! 🙂

@Marie-of6fp 4 года назад

I use a smaller one to hold change, just slit a hole in the top with a knife to be able to easily drop your change in. Those gum containers also work good for keeping bobbie pins in your purse or while traveling. You can also make them into really small first aid kits with a few band aids, and alcohol wipes. They also work great as small snack containers for Cheerios, nuts, gummies, etc. I love these videos! Please make it a series like you had mentioned.

I am a granny gal and I have been upcycling and repurposing things for more years than I care to mention. I learned this from my mother who lived through the Great Depression and WW2. She was ingenious when it came to repurposing just about any item. For instance, she could not afford a bassinet when my siblings and I were born so she used an old dresser drawer lined with quilts for us. I have used everything you mentioned in your video at one time or another. One item that I use is the little plastic container in which mushrooms are packaged. These little things are great for organizing office and kitchen and bathroom drawers. I use a lot of mushrooms so I have a ton of them throughout my house for organizing a plethora of small to medium items. Deli containers from the grocery store are also reusable as pantry organizers for things such as dried fruits and baking morsels and nuts. I love your channel and always look forward to your new videos. You are quite an inspiration to so many young women, but we older ladies can learn from you as well. I wish you had been around when I was in my 20s and 30s, but, alas, you were not born yet and there was no internet! LOL!

I especially like the reuse of tissue boxes and plastic bottles. I've used toilet paper rolls and binder clips for various purposes for years. Really like your hacks/tips videos! Keep them coming.

I use sheet and comforter zip up bags (you know the ones they come in) and store extra fabric for sewing! Thanks for the video it was great! ♥️

Love these hacks! Can’t wait to try some of them out! I bought s mug warmer for my candle after your last video and have been telling everyone about that hack!

Thank you so much, Brittany! These are genius. I'm already using old towels and wash cloths as cleaning rags. I stick to white linens so everything is easy to match, bleach and re-use. I repurposed thin, white, kitchen towels ("flower sack" towels) that I originally bought for the kitchen to dry my hands in the bathroom. These towels are super absorbent and they dry FAST (much faster than terrycloth) which leaves me with a dry towel for each use and cuts down on any mustiness in the bathroom. I use wooden clothes pins to close chip bags and frozen food bags, too. My current, best hack: I discovered that my favorite nuts come in a tall jar that is the perfect size/shape to fit in a standard wine rack. After they're empty I wash them, label the lids, and lay them down in a wine rack with the labeled lid facing out. These are PERFECT for hardware odds and ends like nails, screws, small Allen wrenches, drill bits, etc. Now I look at all the containers I frequently buy with a new eye: how can I reuse this item?

Would you please tell me how you bleach your white linens. I have not had success with that. Do you use bleach each time you wash? Maybe I waited until stains were too set in, as the bleach did not seem to work. Thank you.

Oooo, there are some real gems here Brittany. We re-purpose my old pantyhose in the garden. They are great for tying around plants + stakes as they are gentle and won't dig into the stalks. 😁

Dryer sheets are good for dusting, used or new.

@Theresa Carrion too many chemicals in them unless they're Seventh Generation or a healthier brand. They contain tons of toxins and chemicals. Now you're leaving them on every surface of your home. Ewwwww

A video with hacks using things you can buy is somewhat easy, but one using stuff you have is next level

Cars can also be hole punched along the edges and littles can use a ribbon or string to lace around and practice small motor skills, plus a cute regift that they “made”

That's a great hack about the half toilet roll and grommet curtains. I've been needing that! Another hack with toothpaste is to cut it open when the tube is done. There's usually enough left for a few more brushings. I use the binder clip to close it up and keep the toothpaste fresh until it's all gone. I learned about this from watching Extreme Cheapskates. Most of the other things they do I don't recommend but this has been a handy hack.

I use an empty coffee can to put dryer lint in. It's small enough to leave right by my dryer so every time I switch loads I can just pop out the lint filter, entry it into to coffee can and Bam. No trips back and forth from laundry room to kitchen just to toss lint. *As an added bonus, by keeping my lint in the can, it makes it easier for me to collect for those spur of the moment camping trips as lint is the PERFECT fire starter 💚😅

@violentfemme30 4 года назад

Yay I really liked this video. I've been slowly transitioning to a zero-waste household so I'm all about the idea of repurposing items. Plus I'm not big on buying stuff anymore so I appreciate that these were all free ideas. Thank you! 🌻

I clicked Alfredo jars and use them for gifting I peel the label off put in the dishwasher then spray with peroxide to get the rest of the sticky residue off then wipe after soaking for 5 minutes and to decorate them afterwards I either use peel and stick stickers for kids or bows out of ribbon funny fact I'm dyslexic and can't tie a bow then I put candy or whatever in them that I had from Christmas calendars that we didn't eat or Halloween candy LOL my family loves it this year we did flower pens for Mother's Day and use the jars for the pots just stick the flower pens in

Another tp roll use is for planting seeds and then transferring them to your garden or bigger pot without having to get rid of it.

I up-cycle the lids of the cheese shakers by putting them onto a cute mason jar. They look much nicer on the table when you have company or for your everyday use.

Using mesh fruit bags as scrubbers and putting newspaper with essential oil at the bottom of the trash are both my favorite hacks, so smart!

chocolate boxes to put jewelry in, i use little boxes like the Qtips ones or the clear plastic chocolate boxes (ferrero rocher) to create compartments for my cosmetics / makeup in my vanity drawer.

I save all the gum containers too!!! I have so many. I have two for toothpicks. One for work and one for home. I use them also for all my misc ribbon and use the area the gum pours out of to have the ribbon sticking out to make it easy to see the colors and pull out. Use little squares of velcro and attach to a couple of shelves in a craft room office. It's a game changer!!! Oh, and labeled. 😃

Since dust kicks up my allergies, I use baby wipes to wipe off dust & dirt from tables, lamps, door edges, etc. It makes it easier for quick cleaning.
