    Reasons why I enjoy your videos:
    1. Informative
    2. Fast-paced
    3. Not condescending

      Totally, I’m a teacher and I absolutely hate it when hack videos condescendingly say “I’m going to teach you…”, I never use that phrase with my students 💁🏻‍♀️

      ​@dieuphuongvu5433 I like how she speaks as if she's having a conversation with us in person. A lot of How-To channels just narrate their actions. They just say "Now, I'm going to do this" or "Then I went back to do this" ...
      I can see what you're doing! Give me some helpful tips so I can recreate the look.

    • @GlueGunsRoses

      I'm just glad proper grammar and a soothing voice aren't requirements for you to enjoy videos!

    • @Annmarie-gd3fv
      @Annmarie-gd3fv 5 месяцев назад +11

      I laughed at the "proper grammar and a soothing voice"! I don't hear anything wrong with your voice or grammar. As a matter of fact, as soon as I see your videos pop up, I click right on them. You have a matter of fact way, a well modulated voice and who doesn't make an occasional mistake? It's part of being human 😊. I know I'll always enjoy your content, learn new things, and have fun while watching!

    It's been a long time since I've seen a Dollar Tree hack/organizer video where my jaw has dropped so many times because most or all of the hacks are ones I could actually use! 😆 Well done, thank you!

  • @maryellenyork2819
    @maryellenyork2819 5 месяцев назад +61

    I use tissue boxes in my sock drawer--free organization. I cut the long, skinny Priority Boxes in half, covered them in Contac Paper--perfect size for cans and jars in my pantry. Empty checkbook boxes are perfect for pens and markers. I line drawers with wrapping paper (often from opened wedding, birthday or shower gifts) and replace when dusty. (By running the paper up the sides, the wood stays dust free. The inside of my drawers still look new after 50+ years.) I keep my pony tail elastics on a shower ring. Hair clips and brooches clip to yarn braids or thick ribbons. Headbands wrap around a protein shake container.

    I recently put a few of those felt pads on the bottom (underside corners) of a couple of countertop kitchen appliances. It makes them so much easier to pull out, use, and move back out of the way. Also, I totally do the "sock trick" with the laundry bag; however, I hang clothes to dry in my apartment. Sorting in this way makes hanging go so much faster! So many great tips...I need to get busy, LOL! 🙏💜

  • @daniherde4810

    ❤Hi Megan!! Thanks for all the great 💡 ideas!! The felt pads for the cabinet doors and drawers, genius!! My husband always says,"You get annoyed with me when I don't close the cabinets but also get annoyed when I do close them and I make noise!! Can't win!" Problem solved!! So many great hacks that I need to make a shopping 🛍️ list and rewatch from the beginning!! LoL 😂!! Have a great weekend 🤗🕊️ God Bless You 🕊️🙏 you and your family 💗

    I agree with you on the suction cups because I used them on my windows and my rod iron door that comes into my courtyard for memorial day and I’m leaving them up for Fourth of July. They’re holding up great and I live in Henderson Nevada where is very hot and been very windy and they’re going strong!

    • @GlueGunsRoses
      @GlueGunsRoses  5 месяцев назад +3

      I was shocked was I went online to get a screen grab of the suction cups that they had a lower rating! I felt like I was going crazy reading the reviews, because I have bought name brand suction hooks that cost more and don't work as well as DT. I'm glad you've had good luck with the suction hooks as well. MUCH LOVE TO YOU, MY FRIEND ❤️ -Megan

      @Retired4Life-sz1fh 5 месяцев назад +2

      I also appreciate how she shows what the item looks like in the store packaging or shows a picture of the item online screen. It's helpful to know what I'm looking for even if the item isn't in the section she said it would be found.

  • @craftygrandma56
    @craftygrandma56 6 дней назад

    Wow!!! what great ideas!! I was just fighting with my riser in my craft room because it kept falling behind in the crack of the shelf....and I did see little plastic hooks while cleaning up!!! It's only a matter of finding them!!! I have been using the little laundry bags for my socks for years!!! Some things you have shown in the video have been around for years at our Dollorama but then again other things you show we never had them! I can't believe that things are still $1-$1.25 at your store when the same article is $4-$5 in Canada!! Luckily I like to stock up on things so I don't have to pay the hiked up price! Your shoe bag under the bed gave me a great idea to store my linens even though we do have a linen closet that is full !!! Thanks for a great but more importantly useful video!

  • @CMason-yr9ks
    @CMason-yr9ks 5 месяцев назад +5

    I agee about the heavy-duty suction cups.
    In my bathroom, the sink is too far from the towel rod. So I use one of these on the mirror. It's beyond helpful, and I don't drip water all over the counter.
    5⭐️ FORSURE! Thanks for so many helpful ideas.💜

    • @GlueGunsRoses
      @GlueGunsRoses  5 месяцев назад +1

      Agree! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But I'm wondering if there was a bad batch sent to some stores or if the suction cups don't work in certain climates because even in this comment section people are split on the quality suction cups. I am truly baffled because I've bought multiple of the suction hooks and they all work great.

    Love the idea about the laundry mesh bags. I have those for DIY in the garden, but I thought oh my goodness I can also use it for my socks when I do laundry😂
    I love your idea about the little hooks for inside the kitchen cabinets shelving because I have those and you’re right they do slide and the over the hooks. They do scratch your door because mine is scratching and I’m gonna use that little hook idea.
    but I love the one the magnet hooks for washer for putting the fly swatter, and stuff like that. Great ideas as always.

    I started using the smallest stick-on hooks to hold my charger on my nightstand and my reading glasses on the small-ish wall mounted organizer (also from DT) above the nightstand and they've been working great for about 4 months now. They also work well to hold string lights, though I bought some pushpin hooks way back for that 😅

    I've got to stop "saving" your videos for when I can truly enjoy them! I watch most things at 1.5 x speed and often I'm multitasking. There are a very few channels that I will watch only on Normal speed and only when I can sit and devote my time to watching because I enjoy them so much and don't want to miss a moment or a word. Your channel is one of those. But this time, I saved it and it slid down in my Notifications and sort of got lost. 😢 Today it hit me that I'd seen there was a video from you and I came straight in to sit down and watch.
    Just wanted you to know that waiting almost a week before I watch doesn't mean I don't care - it means I love you! But I'm determined to watch at least on the same day from now on! ❤

    So many great ideas, but my biggest takeaway was the coffee stain. Why did I never think of that?! Thanks for the video, I've "saved" it for future reference because I always think I'll remember, but I never do, lol.

      It's my favorite way to stain wood a slightly darker natural color. I have many DIY videos with more detailed tips on the best way to use coffee, but the gist of it is :
      1. Hot coffee works best
      2. stronger the coffee, the darker the stain
      3. Soak wood for 25 -35 minutes
      4. If you want a darker stain, let wood dry out and re-soak wood in coffee

      @@GlueGunsRoses Thank you, this is very helpful! I don't drink coffee, but my husband does and sometimes gets some he thinks tastes like dirt, lol. Now i know what to do with it!
      One thing he discovered works with coffee grounds (out of desperation) is rubbing them on his skin to repel mosquitoes! He works on a golf course and was being plagued by them. He couldn't take it anymore and the grounds were all he had handy. He couldn't believe how well that worked.

      Thanks for the coffee grounds tip for mosquitos! I think they're only partly right when they say "Necessity is the mother of invention." I think pretty often Necessity's sister Desperation gives birth to a few stellar ideas!
