Good ideas. Just a friendly addition - when mounting paper towel holders to vertical surfaces, bend the towel holder slightly so it angles upward just a bit. That will ensure whatever you place on it won't fall off
5:25 Hanging a heavy pointy Iron on the back of a Door like that_ is very dangerous, especially when there are small Children in the home. If Someone slamms that Door, that iron can do some serious damage.
Great ideas! Just another tidbit on dollar tree items... this is from experience and other RU-vid videos... the dollar tree brand of command hooks are NOT good for walls! They are quite permanent and can rip off paint and paint layers from your wall. This is one item best purchased as its brand name counterpart. Happy home hacks and crafting! Thanks for the video!!
Agreed---only my problem is that the hooks fall off the glue pad eventually. On the other hand---the eCircuit alkaline batteries are as good as any brand name (see YT video testing them & cost sooooo much less!
Some really great ideas. The only thing that bothered me is when you put the eating utensils upside down. I was always taught, both at home and RN school, to put the handles up. This way a person doesn’t get other peoples germs on the end that goes into your mouth.
I used a few of the pool noodles to protect my car doors when opening them in a tight garage. Just attach the pool noodles to the garage wall with double stick carpet tape.
For the dish rack idea (which is so good!) you could always paint the hanging towel rack arms the same color as the towels and it would look like they were floating on the wall.
Me too ! ! ! I liked the clear plastic photo frames as a drawer spice rack as you can see them in the drawer as the metal racks let spices slide off into a cupboard. I preferred my spices in the small cabinet over the range microwave but was hard to reach for a shorter person. The drawer spice organizer works for everyone.
Okay out if all of those tips the ironing board trick won me hands down, I have been shifting mine all over the place trying to find a home for it. Perfect and I have the very door to hide it behind as it’s always open 24/7 so it’s out of sight.
Don't know tht I wud trust th iron hanging on it along w bord, $1. store stuf get'n REAL flimsy, same w bath towels, note, she loads frm bottom up. but 👍 awesome ideas! My brain often doesn't readily SEE out of the box.
Friendly comment: storing your spices in the light drastically shortens their useful life. People tend to keep them far longer than they're good as it is--I know I'm bad about using them as long as they even SORTA smell like they should--but light is muy mal.
I love this Channel! I built my tiny cabin in Trapper Creek Alaska 20 years ago now and I haven't had electricity for that long also. I get wonderful ideas here that saves me so much space!!✌🏻❤😊
Tomato cages. Brilliant. Use my antique colanders for the baskets. I will soon have my own kitchen again and I can't wait to revel in my organization expertise. I plan on visiting Dollar Tree to help me do it!
The paper towel holders hung horizontally such as for hats or, even heavier, toilet tissue likely need spacer/support on the bottom so they don't sag down and dump off what you hang on them.
I just happened to have a piece of tubing hanging around, and found a paper towel holder at a thrift shop. I discovered that the plastic tubing fits over the vertical part of the paper towel holder. I can put 5 large rolls of Angel Soft T.P. that sits beside my toilet where I can hide it, but keep it within hands reach.
You are a genius. These tips were sooo helpful with clutter and not enough flat surfaces. Especially the first spice storage idea and the first container lid and frying pan ideas
I do like zip ties but if you trim them they will be very sharp, so remember that when positioning. You can melt the sharp ends with a bic lighter. Don't overdo it or breathe in.
I watch a lot!!! of these videos and this one was one of the best ones ever! kudos and keep up the good work! I very rarely write comments for many videos.
You've got the best ideas I swear!!! I watch a lot of these crafty thrifty $1 store put togethers and yours is the best! Wish you had a book or an online blog or something... Keep up the good work and thank you again!
I was going through some boxes and came across an old paper towel holder and didn't want to keep it but also didn't want to throw it out. The hat idea is great! I will do it later today. Thank you!
Some people come up with such brilliant ideas! One thing that I'd not do, however, is to ever hang an iron up like that ... like an accident waiting to happen.
I really like the tip of using a pool noodle to hang up broom and mops and such. I have bought the "real" thing and they are way to expensive. I imagine you could spray paint the noodle to whatever color to match the wall where you are putting it up. Great idea!!! Thanks!!
Mostly great ideas, but FYI, Dollar Tree also has broom & mop holders you can stick on the wall, and they look a LOT better than that neon-green pool noodle.
For the brooms and mops and swiffers etc. I just hang up a coat rack with 5 or 6 hooks and screw it on the wall. If you need two buy another one. I have a little covey hole downstairs where I put the cat litter box and I have one of these thin coat racks on each side of the wall. I also have my vacuum cleaners in this small space as well.
Some good ideas except the pool noodle for brooms/mops. Hooks on wall and zip ties on the tools work better; take less room so can put more up plus not so hard to hang them.
There ARE other dollar stores, but bet Dollar TREE gives kickback of products or $ something. As there are several different people doing "Dollar Tree" vid's
Idk what is wrong with the command hooks i bought cuz i got the ones to hold heavy things and they were not cheap i came home from work and my mirror was shattered on the floor and it was not heavy .they only seem to last a few days they fall off the wall
If we add number of pieces we are using many things will cost $5 or more and we can get wire storage for $5 too. So check economics before starting projects.
The quality of the some of the metal and plastic items used are such that they will not withstand the weight of some of the things shown put in or on them. I know the shower hooks break apart just opening them and the plastic bins crack easily. Some of the basket ideas will tip over, or bend depending on contents. Not very stable or secure.
