Love watching you Liz. I have a tip for you. When you are painting, pick up a couple of paint stirers at the paint store. Dip the stick in the paint, to cover about 6". On the side with no writing, write the brand of paint, the name and the number of the paint. If the company discontinues the paint, they have machines now that can reproduce the paint from a chip. This is much better. This is great if you have a lot of rooms with different color walls, or furniture. This has been a life saver for me.
As soon as I open my paint I pour it in the gallon mayonnaise plastic container. Then I use the can to paint out of so it gets completely empty. You can easily use a paint stick in the mayonnaise jar. I also use plastic peanut butter containers for smaller portions of paint. I get a funnel from dollar tree and use it just to pour paint. I always label my paint jars and say what room in my house it was used for or where it was used. I don’t have any metal cans in my storage just plastic jars. Then you don’t have rust in your paint. Paint will last forever.
Just take the metal paint container, after using the paint and maybe pouring paint back into it, and put the lid back on it. Then turn it once upside down and back. Done. You can now use the paint forever.
A tip for removing sticky label glue is to use eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball. An old school teacher’s trick! We used to use it to remove sticky stuff like craft glue etc from desks and other surfaces. Wipe over with a damp cloth afterwards. Thank you for your tips 🙏❤️ New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨
Hi lovely. From the UK. With the hanger I just used the same hanger. Put the bottom of dress through the lower bit of the hanger. It works. And given me so much more room in my small one cupboard wardrobe😊
Great hacks Liz! Lots of new ideas to try. As a nurse who always carries tape in my pocket for bandages & other things, I learned years ago to simply fold under the end to make a little tab to grab.... works great & no paper clip needed. I do it on those sticky lint remover rollers, too. Just fold up over a small part of the end to also make a tab you can grab easily when you're ready to pull off the next layer.
another easy secret is get one of those tabs on the bags of bread and stick that partially under the edge of the tape and it makes it easier and you dont have to cut the tab off to keep the tape flat.
One can also use those plastic bread tabs to write on with small permanent marker and clip them around electrical cords behind an entertainment center or somewhere where there's a lot of cords like spaghetti that need to be easily identified.
We used that bread bag hack growing up! It works and keeps the bread perfectly fresh unless your family doesn’t go through much bread at all. My hands are super weak and tricky these days (long story but suffice it to say we all need to take care of our livers and research EVERY prescription a doc gives us!), so I use the OXO Good Grips bag cinch thingies on bags now. I even transfer some zip-bag-packaged items into bags with free edges so I can use the cinchers because my hands can’t handle most zip seal bags anymore. I love the cinchers and give them as gifts. Liz, you can use a big drill bit or even a small hole saw depending on the size of your tree’s trunk to put a perfect hole in the center of the mossy foam. You can also patch the white spots with a little pack of moss from a hobby store. My son has some of the packets of loose moss for his dioramas and trainscapes. It seems expensive for one packet ($6 or more for like a gram or something😳) but one packet lasts a bajillion years for patching in floral arrangements and the like. Make sure you get the one that you don’t use with the static machine (the name escapes me ATM). I use mason jars for paint storage. I use the metal lid inside a plastic mason cap. The inner metal lid with gasket seals it airtight and the plastic cap doesn’t rust like the old fashioned rings. Before I use water, I try a hair dryer on a label because water usually makes everything messier when removing the labels. I warm up a corner and get to peeling, applying more heat as I go. Any residue can be cleaned up with either lemon essential oil or acetone. That denture tablet trick can work on some toilet rings, as well. It may take more than one tablet at a time. A lot of old wood bowls at thrift stores have icky stain or varnish on them but a quick application of citrus based solvent will remove that. Alternatively, super fine steel wool and denatured alcohol (Walmart sells both) will strip it back to a beautiful wood tone in just a few minutes. Wear gloves, protect your workspace, and work in a well-ventilated area. Very good tips and a lot of inspiration! 😘
I don't see why that miss was backed by white styrofoam when they do make green. Sometimes you can lift the plant out of it's original container and just push it back through adding a little glue. I actually use pine cones, they keep the tree centered, upright in place and cover the base, I also use then in real potted trees because they look better than dirt and they're free, lol. I like your blow dryer tip, I was using goo gone but then you've got to clean up the oily residue. Carburator cleaner spray works best but it's not for every surface. I also like your citrus oil idea, I'll have to try it, any brand suggestions! I'm not sure if I should look in the furniture polish isle or what- As for toilet bowl residue, I find that The Works from dollar tree is effective. And I also found a pack of bleach tablets from a dollar store- I forgot which- that worked incredibly well when left overnight, but I've yet to see them again, maybe the denture tablets will have the same effect. I also saw a paint hack where a rubber band was strung across the can to rest brush, capture excess paint and stop outside drips but the mason jar lid is great!
@@donnalawrence8593 it's old but I'd forgotten about it, I'm so glad she featured it. And I know it's silly but the excess plastic at the end of the loaf bothers me, lol, it always finds a way to melt into the toaster and the hack takes care of that too.
@Tanya T Marie I like to use the NOW Brand Lemon essential oil because I can buy a four-or eight-ounce bottle cheap, and it is frequently on sale at many retailers, online and in brick and mortar stores.
I have all my paint stored in mason jars with the name and # of paint as well as room it belongs to. It really works and saves expensive paint. I also read that when you start to do touch up paint to a wall use a small amount of the paint in a separate container and add a little water. And feather out edges. This makes it match wall better.
Liz you can remove labels: I saw this on RUclips: fill jar with hot water let sit, remove which ones you can. If there is any leftover make a paste of hot water and baking soda and it takes it right off. Baking soda you always have around. Also dental cleaner in water is good for retainers and mouth guards. This was a tip from dental office.
I love the OJ container/ watering jug, and I love the dress hanging hack. My mom always hung her dresses the same way, so I've always done the same. No wrinkles, or long hanging dress awkwardly hanging in the way of storage space at the bottom.
Excellent hacks. Tfs❤️! I love using the loaf of bread hack. I used to think that my mom was being so old fashioned & too cheap when she was reusing containers. Now, after spending far too much money on unnecessary containers, I enjoy coming up with ways to reuse my containers.
Great collaboration of hacks you've shared past and present. The scented oil on a cotton ball placed in your trash can is a good one. The terracotta pots and green planter turned out great. I would paint the lamp black. The tan color is a shade off where it's styled. 2x hacks to add: place the heat of a blower to the jar labels and it comes right off. Also candle jars, you can recycle them by putting it in the freezer. Once the remaining wax hardens it will come right off ♻️ 👍🏼
You should keep the lamp how it is. Very cute! I love the two tone look of it. The salt is an awesome hack! And I love the lentil and quinoa hack! That's fabulous! I would've never thought to use dry beans. It reminds me of when I was a little girl in the 80's, my mom had a picture that was like a shadow box and it had compartments of random beans in it. Love all your hacks! Good job!
Great tips! Glad to hear we can make lemons last longer. I'll use this tip with our limes, and see if it works. To get the stickiness out of labels use eucalyptus essential oil and a cotton bud. But I use any essential oil and they work too.
Regardless how nice the seal PLEASE put a piece of saran on top be for you turn the top closing it. It will keep paint from drying on the rim and making reopening a jar a hot mess. Been there done it.
We found that a creamer bottle is the perfect size for transferring water into the Keuric coffee maker. No need to remove the water reservoir. It’s also good for those who have dexterity issues. That reservoir has little tabs that could have easily snapped three years ago.
Love the hack you showed. I also have the tray on my stove and it is a great way to store your spices , timer or anything little. I love the Parmesan lid hack. The chop sticks is a good idea for the nails. Keep up the good work at sharing ❤️.
Liz, about the wisk in the flour, I learned from a professional baker to stir the flour before you measure it out. Apparently it makes a big difference in baked goods.
The denture tablets are also great for removing the stains from drink mixes in the 2-quart slim refrigerator dispensers. Getting down inside the container or into the hollowed-out handle is impossible. The paper clip on the tape is one I have used for years. I don't fight it over the tape, I simply press the paper clip onto the sticky side of the tape and then press it against the rest of the roll. To remove labels from plastic or glass jars more easily, fill the jar with hot water. Wait until the glue softens and the paper label lifts off in one piece.
I recently discovered on Amazon some really nice bamboo holders for all the kitchen wraps. The foil absolutely needs a serrated edge, (despite the sliding ones claiming they work on foil) but I did manage to find one with a serrated edge. The other holders have a plastic tab that slides across to cut either plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment. These are very attractive, adorable, can be hung on a wall, inside a cabinet, or just placed in a drawer. I absolutely love this find!
I was so happy you told about the aluminum foil! I love it now! I never knew about it. I hated using foil because it was always a pain to use.I love it and will use it all the time now!! Thank you, Diana
I liked the jar with the added layer of rice to cover the stems. Looks much better - one reason I don't like fake flowers is they look fake, but this helps cover that up!
I’ve been using denture cleaner in my toilet for years. I don’t have to do it too often but every once a while it works really good for cleaning the toilet
Just keep in mind that denture tablets have toxic chemicals in them.if you have pets that drink from toilet. And environmentally not a good idea either. I used to use them in toilet too until I read all the safety warnings on package.
Yes, I did know about the foil box. That feature is also on other boxes for plastic wrap, parchment paper, wax paper, etc. @18:33, if you don't have a cap with holes, you can criss cross scotch tape to create your own holes with any vase to achieve the same results. This idea is especially useful when you don't really have enough of your arrangement, it just spreads it out better. @25:00, I just fold the end of the tape. It's especially good for the clear tape that's difficult to see the end. My favorite hacks in this video is framing fabric as decor, gluing the magnet at the base of the hammer, framing the QR Code, storing lemons in water with a wired-tight lid, and placing an essential oil soaked cotton ball for household trash cans. Thank you!!
Yes dear I’ve known about the tabs at the end of the aluminum boxes seems like all my life. If you look you will find that there are tabs at the end of the boxes for plastic wrap, wax paper, parchment paper…once in awhile I find a brand that doesn’t have them but those I just don’t buy a second time! Having fun watching this video!!! Thank you for sharing your gifts!
I use my heat gun to remove labels and stickers. It's also great for removing mailing labels and packing tape from cardboard boxes. Then when using them to mail items or to repurpose them for storage or organization, I'm not fighting with old sticky tapes and strings that are sometimes imbedded in companies' shipping tapes.
I always use denture cleaning tabs for my vases, my toothbrush holder and any vessel that has a small opening or has hard water build up. I've even dropped a couple into my toilet bowl.
Cute shelf above the stove! Thanks for that. Maybe you could use the toothbrush holder in a larger, deeper pot using earthquake putty for more stability. For even larger arrangements, use 2-3 holders! Great ideas!!
Lots and lots of genius hacks. Love the chopsticks to hold nails when hanging a picture. My husband is an engineer, which means he measures everything. Aarrgghh! So, anything like hanging pictures happens when he's at the office. My fingers appreciate the chopstick idea.And those holes in the foil boxes!! Who knew?!? Telling all my friends about that asap. :) I think removing labels with nail polish remover works best if there is acetone in the remover. Not good to use on delicate fingernails, but the right solvent for melting away sticky stuff.
Great 👍 👌 I love reusing things. I especially liked and will use the watering plastic bottle idea. I house sit and that's the ideal and light watering utensil to use going to several floors to take care of plants! Thanks for all these great hacks. Just found you tonight.
I knew about the bread bag and I have a hack you get a pitcher clear one you put rice inside and put your kitchen knives inside it looks nice and it sharpens your knives too.I know the tape hack too They were all excellent hacks
I'm loving the beans and rice for the base of the fake plants:) I'm gonna have to invest in some denture cleaner too. Someone on here mentioned that they work great on yellowed doilies. We have a natural wood fireplace, and the mantle scarves get nasty and I've tried literally everything to get them clean. I'll let ya'll know if the denture cleaner works on them:)
Liz I wanted to let you know I just wet to GoodWill I found a Brown Lg. rattan tray I don;t normally do crafts but you have inspired me. I'm going to spray paint and style it with my favorite decorations. I also went to the dollar tree and I found these plastic turtle trays.I have some wooden beads I'm going to make feet for it. They had clear plastic boxes withe a single drawers.I bought 3 of then I'm going to put feet on the the bottom and one on top. I;m going to e moving in the next couple months and am excited to re decorate my new Home. Thanks Liz Jody....
Liz, those clay urns turned into money! They are absolutely gorgeous! I’ve never thought about painting over glaze. Did you have to sand it any so that it would have some “tooth” for the paint to stick to? Thank you for all of these amazing ideas.
I love, love, love all kinds of hacks! It's great that you combine household hacks and decor hacks in the same video. Thank you and please keep them coming. Maybe paint the base of the lamp black and add a black lampshade? Best Wishes!
Search youtube for how to close a bag of chips by folding it.... it works great, we have even thrown them across the room and they stay closed. We seen it years ago on a Japanese hacks video. Love the tip for lemons. I rarely shop so stopped buying them.. Now I have to try this.
I’ve been doing the adhesive on a jar hack for probably 30 years. But also works now that I’m into essential oils as I use my young living orange or even lemon oil and it takes it right off as well
Love the toothbrush /floral arrangement hack. Definitely gonna use it. Thanx😊 You can also use the “flat style” bread closures on the end of your rolls of tape.
Hi Liz, I'm new to your channel-this was my first video. So many great hacks! I was wondering if there is a video on your wood peg board background? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!
I have a similar container that I recycled for watering my plants too. I dont own a drill so I just unscrew the cap and fill the container with water ! Works great !
I knew about the foil hack when I was a teenager I’m 60 now I thought everyone did this LoL wow I was ahead of the times love the plant hack a lot of these hacks I was doing when I was very young
Hey Liz label removal hack for ya. Skip the nail polish Remover. Take your pickle jar, wine bote, whatever jar needs the label removed. Put the jar in your kitchen sink with the lid off. Boil water on your stove. Once the water boils, slowly pour it in to the jar in your sink being very careful of course. The boiling g water releases the labels usually in o e piece with little to no residue
To remove labels off glass jars I spray WD40 on the label and let it set for over 1hr or overnight and then I peel the label off and remove the residue with a cloth.
I had a gentleman that poured custom candles for me. He told me that he discovered that eucalyptus repelled spiders.. I don't mind spiders but for those that do...bonus!!
Love watching you Liz. I have a tip for you. When you are painting, pick up a couple of paint stirers at the paint store. Dip the stick in the paint, to cover about 6".

I always label my paint jars and say what room in my house it was used for or where it was used. I don’t have any metal cans in my storage just plastic jars. Then you don’t have rust in your paint. Paint will last forever.
Just remember paint color changes when exposed to the sun. That's why paint comes in an opaque metal or plastic container.
I do that as well!
I have been told to put marbles into the jar as an easy way to mix the paint back up. Have you tried that o not a problem?
Just take the metal paint container, after using the paint and maybe pouring paint back into it, and put the lid back on it. Then turn it once upside down and back.
Done.
You can now use the paint forever.

RN here-I do that too-habits die hard like abbreviations. Retired and still do that.
I just learned that you can reconstitute old dried out painters, packing, masking or duct tape by microwaving a few seconds and it's as good as new.
@@elainemarten2147 good idea- I don't care for them for securing a package of bread so I may as well get some use out of it!
One can also use those plastic bread tabs to write on with small permanent marker and clip them around electrical cords behind an entertainment center or somewhere where there's a lot of cords like spaghetti that need to be easily identified.
We used that bread bag hack growing up! It works and keeps the bread perfectly fresh unless your family doesn’t go through much bread at all.

Liz, you can use a big drill bit or even a small hole saw depending on the size of your tree’s trunk to put a perfect hole in the center of the mossy foam. You can also patch the white spots with a little pack of moss from a hobby store. My son has some of the packets of loose moss for his dioramas and trainscapes. It seems expensive for one packet ($6 or more for like a gram or something😳) but one packet lasts a bajillion years for patching in floral arrangements and the like. Make sure you get the one that you don’t use with the static machine (the name escapes me ATM).
I use mason jars for paint storage. I use the metal lid inside a plastic mason cap. The inner metal lid with gasket seals it airtight and the plastic cap doesn’t rust like the old fashioned rings.
Before I use water, I try a hair dryer on a label because water usually makes everything messier when removing the labels. I warm up a corner and get to peeling, applying more heat as I go. Any residue can be cleaned up with either lemon essential oil or acetone.
That denture tablet trick can work on some toilet rings, as well. It may take more than one tablet at a time.
A lot of old wood bowls at thrift stores have icky stain or varnish on them but a quick application of citrus based solvent will remove that. Alternatively, super fine steel wool and denatured alcohol (Walmart sells both) will strip it back to a beautiful wood tone in just a few minutes. Wear gloves, protect your workspace, and work in a well-ventilated area.
Very good tips and a lot of inspiration! 😘

I also like your citrus oil idea, I'll have to try it, any brand suggestions! I'm not sure if I should look in the furniture polish isle or what-
As for toilet bowl residue, I find that The Works from dollar tree is effective. And I also found a pack of bleach tablets from a dollar store- I forgot which- that worked incredibly well when left overnight, but I've yet to see them again, maybe the denture tablets will have the same effect.

Hey Luz, saranwrap, waxed paper, and, brown wrap paper all have the tabs on the side of the box also, and works the same way as the aluminum foil.
I recently discovered on Amazon some really nice bamboo holders for all the kitchen wraps.

If you use the scented oil cotton ball hack in your vacuum tank...you'll eminate the scent thru your home as you vacuum
Thank you for such great ideas! I didn't know you can paint over porcelain and it would stick. So many ideas and hints. You are awesome!
I put a denture cleaner tablet in the toilet tank. It cleans the tank and the holes where the water comes out. We have hard water & this really helps!
It does but not safe for pets or kids if they handle or drink toilet water.
I love framing calendar pictures. Add a mat to look high class.
Yes, I did know about the foil box. That feature is also on other boxes for plastic wrap, parchment paper, wax paper, etc.

Speaking of what you’re wearing, I have bought so many kimonos from Amazon. They are so cute and breezy. Perfect over tank top for older women.
Yes! I love wearing them!
Great 👍 👌 I love reusing things. I especially liked and will use the watering plastic bottle idea. I house sit and that's the ideal and light watering utensil to use going to several floors to take care of plants!
Thanks for all these great hacks. Just found you tonight.
I knew about the bread bag and I have a hack you get a pitcher clear one you put rice inside and put your kitchen knives inside it looks nice and it sharpens your knives too.I know the tape hack too
They were all excellent hacks
I'm loving the beans and rice for the base of the fake plants:) I'm gonna have to invest in some denture cleaner too. Someone on here mentioned that they work great on yellowed doilies. We have a natural wood fireplace, and the mantle scarves get nasty and I've tried literally everything to get them clean. I'll let ya'll know if the denture cleaner works on them:)
on yellowed doilies and white tablecloth yellow stain, spray easy off oven cleaner before washing
Liz I wanted to let you know I just wet to GoodWill I found a Brown Lg. rattan tray I don;t normally do crafts but you have inspired me. I'm going to spray paint and style it with my favorite decorations. I also went to the dollar tree and I found these plastic turtle trays.I have some wooden beads I'm going to make feet for it. They had clear plastic boxes withe a single drawers.I bought 3 of then I'm going to put feet on the the bottom and one on top. I;m going to e moving in the next couple months and am excited to re decorate my new Home. Thanks Liz Jody....
Liz, those clay urns turned into money! They are absolutely gorgeous! I’ve never thought about painting over glaze. Did you have to sand it any so that it would have some “tooth” for the paint to stick to? Thank you for all of these amazing ideas.
I absolutely looooove the terricotta pots that you painted!! Sooo good!
Thank you so much!!
These are all practical hacks. Some things are familiar but most of them are new. Must try indeed. 🙌🙌
Omgeeeeee I love everything in this video!!! Totally saving this and sharing!!!
Your videos are my favorite. I watch all the time and use a bunch of your ideas. ❤😊
I bet that hand sanitizer would work on removing the stickiness from the jar. I use it when sap gets on my car windows...nothing works better.
Oooo I will have to try that!
I can actually use so many of these ideas, thanks!
The bread hack, AWESOME!!
Very creative Liz. Thanks a lot.
didn't know about the aluminum foil hack...thank you!
I love, love, love all kinds of hacks! It's great that you combine household hacks and decor hacks in the same video. Thank you and please keep them coming. Maybe paint the base of the lamp black and add a black lampshade? Best Wishes!
Love these hacks! Thank you so much. I love learning & this had many great ideas.
Finally a hack I might actually use - the double hanger for keeping long shirts/dresses from reaching the lower tier.
Hi. I knew the bread hack and aluminum foil. Use needle nose players for hammering a nail in wall. I think masking tape works for drilling nail.
Search youtube for how to close a bag of chips by folding it.... it works great, we have even thrown them across the room and they stay closed. We seen it years ago on a Japanese hacks video. Love the tip for lemons. I rarely shop so stopped buying them.. Now I have to try this.
Love the lemon saving hack, I buy organic and sometimes they dry up before I use them.
Love, love, love, these hacks. Thank you, Liz.
I’ve been doing the adhesive on a jar hack for probably 30 years. But also works now that I’m into essential oils as I use my young living orange or even lemon oil and it takes it right off as well
I learned this little trick about 15 or 20 years ago from my mother-in-law and wondered why Reynolds Wrap hadn't advertised this helpful feature more!
I learned the foil hack a long time ago. I love your great tips.
I’ve known about the foil and saran wrap tabs on the side my entire life I did not know that people didn’t know this. I’m glad you showed it
Love watching you, all the way from Australia 🇦🇺
Another way to get rid of sticky residue from labels is either DD Eucalyptus oil or WD 40.
Genius on bread wrapping! W/ Paint to Jar, PAINT the LID the COLOR then add name & info 👍...so much prettier💙💙💙
Leave it with the light color. Stone shades look great.
that lamp is perfect the way u did it...leave it light colored.
Love the toothbrush /floral arrangement hack. Definitely gonna use it. Thanx😊
You can also use the “flat style” bread closures on the end of your rolls of tape.
Hi Liz, I'm new to your channel-this was my first video. So many great hacks! I was wondering if there is a video on your wood peg board background? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!
I wondered the same about the wood peg board!
I have a similar container that I recycled for watering my plants too. I dont own a drill so I just unscrew the cap and fill the container with water ! Works great !
The denture cleaner is amazing for coffee pots and mugs. It’s good for tea stains also!
I love berry yogurt bark - that’s a cool hack
SOS pads works really well. To scrub off the residue off the jars once you’ve taken in the label’s off
Awesome hacks! I use lemon essential oil to take the sticky label goo off, it’s natural and works great!
Good old Australian method to remove sticky label residue…. Eucalyptus oil
Works a treat!
I knew about the foil hack when I was a teenager I’m 60 now I thought everyone did this LoL wow I was ahead of the times love the plant hack a lot of these hacks I was doing when I was very young
Love the pot for olive tree
Hey Liz label removal hack for ya. Skip the nail polish Remover. Take your pickle jar, wine bote, whatever jar needs the label removed. Put the jar in your kitchen sink with the lid off. Boil water on your stove. Once the water boils, slowly pour it in to the jar in your sink being very careful of course. The boiling g water releases the labels usually in o e piece with little to no residue
Thanks for the tip!
I've always twisted my bread bag and pulled it down over the rest of the bread. That's really cool
Lemon EO or peanut butter are both great natural ways to get labels off. Just put it on and let it soak in. Peels right off!
To remove labels off glass jars I spray WD40 on the label and let it set for over 1hr or overnight and then I peel the label off and remove the residue with a cloth.
Love the hammer hack!!
The long dress and bread hacks I've been doing for years
Awesome!
Instead of a drill to make holes for your watering can, you can use your hot glue gun. Once it's hot it'll melt holes in the plastic lids.
I 💘 the lemon 🍋 jar hack-can you use a larger jar? For more than 3?
I had a gentleman that poured custom candles for me. He told me that he discovered that eucalyptus repelled spiders.. I don't mind spiders but for those that do...bonus!!
Great for Australia where they have giant spiders!
Awesome ideas! You gave me several I’m going to use. Your videos are always so much fun to watch and so helpful. Thank you and have a Blessed day 😊
Did not know the foil trick,love the pots
Orange essential oil is fantastic for getting labels and the sticky stuff off! Way easier than nail polish remover :)
try eucalyptus oil instead of acetone. works just as well and not so toxic. smells great in the house
Love the pots !!!
You can also use a comb to hold your nail in place.
Or a fork.
Love the Chopsticks hack!
Thanks!
