I’m totally and utterly obsessed with Pinterest as I am totally and utterly impressed by what other people come up with! You know, those ideas where you think ‘why didn’t I think of that?’. One of my boards is entitled “Well Isn’t That Clever” and is a place to pin really awesome, useful ideas! Like…
Using toilet paper rolls to keep wrapping paper from unrolling!
Turning an old tissue box into a place to store plastic bags
(I have a box in the pantry, in the laundry room, and in the basement)
Using the heat from a hair dryer to easily remove those pesky stickers & labels that never seem to want to come off!
Cutting up a 1 or 2 liter bottle to use as a drip catcher on a drink dispenser!
Lining refrigerator shelves with Press ‘n Seal wrap…when the shelves are dirty, simply toss and replace!
Using painter’s tape to evenly space a picture gallery…seriously, how have I never thought of this?
Organizing ribbon by threading spools through dowels and ends through the holes in a plastic basket!
And finally, using a plastic cereal container with lid, line with a plastic bag, and viola…a perfect trash can for you car!
The sources for the images above can be found using the links on my Pinterest board. Explore the board for more ideas and links to people’s pages that are far more creative than I’ll ever be!
