Cut off the bottom of an aluminum can to make a small container.
Carefully poke a hole in the center of the base.
Thread a short cord through the hole to form a wick, then pour a little oil into the cup.
Place the wick assembly into the cup and carefully light it, you've got a simple DIY candle.
Grab a glass bottle and press its cap against the edge of a plastic bottle,
then push down sharply and pull up, that's how you open a bottle without an opener.
Secure a spare box to the edge of the table and pin it down with a cutting board so the box hangs
over the side. Chop your vegetables and sweep the scraps right into the box, your workspace stays
clean and cleanup is a breeze. Slice a bell pepper into thin rings to get neat decorative shapes.
Place the rings on a hot skillet and carefully crack an egg into each one.
Let the egg set, you'll get a beautiful and appetizing egg dish and pepper rings.
Poke a small hole in the neck of a plastic bottle and cut off the bottom.
Apply glue around the edge and attach the neck inside the cut off bottom to form a stable bowl.
Fill the bottle with water, screw the cap on and flip it over the water will fill the base
and stop at the hole level. Use this simple setup as a bird waterer, the water refills
automatically as needed. If screws are hard to drive into wood, don't force them.
Apply a little WD-40 to the screw and drive it in quickly with no resistance.
Mark three lines at different depths on a wooden block. Carefully make cuts along the
marked lines with a handsaw. Secure a utility knife blade across the cuts using screws.
Drive a metal rod into the block, it will serve as a bottle holder.
Slide a plastic bottle onto the rod, feed the edge into the slot under the blade
and cut the bottle into a long, strong strip.
Slice a lemon into rounds, then cut each slice into several smaller pieces.
Place the pieces into ice cube tray compartments and fill with water.
Brew a cup of tea. Drop a lemon ice cube into your hot tea, convenient,
pretty and always on hand. Place a nut onto a drill bit and carefully tack weld it in place.
Install the modified bit into a drill or driver. Slide wires under the nut and turn on the tool,
twist the connection neatly in just seconds. If you need to clean dust from a bin full of
small hardware, don't vacuum it directly, bolts and nuts could get sucked in.
Take a few drinking straws and pack them tightly into the vacuum nozzle.
Vacuum the surface, the dust gets pulled in, but the larger parts stay put.
Cut a short piece of thin metal tubing. Sharpen the edge on sandpaper until it's sharp all the
way around. Use it as a punch, easily cut clean round holes in leather or a belt.
If your hands smell bad after cleaning fish, don't give up.
Apply a little toothpaste, rub it in well and rinse with water, the smell disappears
and your hands are fresh. Cut a rectangular opening in the side of an aluminum can.
Bend a piece of wire, shape it into a handle and wrap one side with electrical
tape for a comfortable grip. Poke holes on both sides of the can and insert the wire,
secure the handle. Melt a little paraffin with a candle, drip it onto the bottom of the can
and set the candle inside to hold it in place. Like the candle, you've got a simple portable
lamp for lighting up dark spaces. Use it to easily find what you need, even in a dark attic.
Carefully crack an egg and, holding the yolk in one half of the shell,
pour the white into a bowl, an easy way to separate the white from the yolk.
Pour crushed eggshell into a dirty bottle, add a little water and shake well, the shell
scrubs the walls clean from the inside. Don't heat the cap in your hands to avoid burns,
first screw it onto the bottle neck. Heat the cap with a torch and, while the plastic is soft,
press the center out with a pencil, form a bub. Once it cools, cut off the top of the raised part.
Make a hole in the bottom of the bottle. Cut a valve stem from an old inner tube,
apply glue and attach it to the hole from the outside. Slip a hose onto the stem and secure
it tightly. Squeeze the bottle to draw in water, then release, the water will start
flowing on its own through the hose by gravity. Lay a folded shirt on a piece of cardboard and
mark its width and length. Cut out several rectangular pieces to size, including two long
side panels. Connect them with tape to create a foldable frame. Use the frame to fold shirts,
flip the cardboard flaps one at a time and the shirt is neatly folded in seconds.
Apply glue to two small wooden pieces, press them together and clamp them tight with zip ties
instead of clamps. To remove the ties, carefully slide a knife into the latch and release the lock,
the piece stays firmly glued. If your child keeps opening the cabinet,
limit access the easy way. Loop a zip tie through the cabinet handles, the door stays
shut and the little one can't open them. Collect leftover zip tie ends and line them up in a bundle.
Cinch the bundle with another zip tie to hold them tight. Trim the end so all the pieces are
the same length. Fill a plastic bottle cap with hot glue and press the prepared bundle inside.
Use the mini brush you just made to clean narrow and hard to reach spots.
Take a small plastic bucket and mount it to the wall with the bottom facing out.
Make a hole for running the wires through. Feed the wires inside and connect the outlet.
Close the lid, you've got a protective cover for an outdoor outlet against rain and moisture.
Take apart an ordinary pan, remove the ink cartridge and carefully saw off the metal tip.
Insert the tip into the WD-40 nozzle as a replacement for the lost straw,
use it as a precision spray guide. Grab a paper cup with a lid and cut a neat round hole in the lid.
Fold plastic bags by tucking them into one another so they pull out one at a time.
Place the folded bags in the cup, close the lid and pull the edge of the first bag through the
hole. Use the cup as a dispenser, pull bags out one by one, neatly and conveniently.
Don't try to tear tape right after sticking it down, the edge will come out uneven.
First make a small fold at the end of the tape, press it firmly with your nails and pull sharply
the tape tears cleanly along a straight line. If your dark clothes are covered in cat hair after
cuddling your cat, don't rush to change. Grab a paint roller and wrap it with tape,
sticky side out. Roll it over your shirt, it picks up all the fuzz quickly.
Use it on the couch too, works just as well.
