    I find her nervousness on camera endearing. She's coming across as someone who's very genuine and not trying to show off. Her ideas are really good and inexpensive compared with the so call "professional" or the "organization experts" who come up with ideas which just makes you go out to the store and spend tons of money only to find it doesn't really work with your budget or the layout of your home. So yeah. Kudos to Alejandra and hope she continues to be endearing. Confidence is good and she clearly has confidence in her ideas. The confidence on camera is something we should not even comment or be critical on. What is it worth anyway? Substance is more important.
    Alejandra, I adore you.

    I'd never have though to use duct tape as a cover for things, comes in all sorts of cool colours now too!

    • @HomeOrganizing

      lol. The dollar store sells duct tape in fun colors and patterns, check there before you spend more than $1 :)

    • @AverageJaneReviews
      @AverageJaneReviews 9 лет назад +3

      Not sure if they sell them in the £1 over here yet but I'll keep my eyes peeled for them. Was in a big hardware shop the other day and spotted a Union Jack one on sale for 50p

    I have a cool success story from this video: I made the chocolate-bar-wrapper-covered-in-duct-tape-poly-envelope and keep it in my van's center console with emergency cash (in case I'm out and about and forget my wallet). Recently, I must have left my doors unlocked, because during the night, my van was rifled through. When I came out the next morning, all of the contents of my glove compartment and center console were strewn throughout the front seat. And the cash was safe! It was sitting right there on my seat. The person who rifled through my car had no idea this envelope was full of cash. Thanks for the great tip, Alejandra!!

    I use the foam EGG CONTAINERS for small Christmas ornaments, I have the ones that hold 18 and they stack great In my storage boxes (cardboard boxes) they have held up for 3 years so far, and should hold for 20 more. I use the small ornaments for small trees in the entry, or for decorating candle desplays. I was thinking of using for Easter eggs, but I'll probably use the 5 dozen egg pack instead. If you ask your dairy department employee for a box the eggs were shipped in, it's a perfect fit! (egg shipping boxes ae great for moving as well[Tested and thumbs up]; all uniform size, and they have tons every day u can get.)

    Yaay! Lightbulb container idea equals perfect timing! When we bought our house the owner stocked us with all the specialty bulbs we would need but I need someplace more secure to store them. I'm going to use a label on the inside of the cup for each description. Thanks for the spark!

    For the former shoebox turned ribbon organizer, I would suggest adding corks from wine bottles if you have some handy. You might also be able to convince a local restaurant or pub to give you some of theirs for your craft projects as I am sure that there will likely be some that they would throw out. You might be able to get some of their beer, wine or food boxes for your projects as well as that can cut down on some of their bin space.

    I took a Clementine box, painted it, decorated it w/paintings of art supplies & I store bottle of paint & paint brushes in it. you can also do the same thing w/cardboard boxes w/lids (great for small bottles of paint...just add a drop of the paint colour to the top of the bottle lid so you can see the colours you want)

    if the Apple container has thin foam sheets to protect the apples, use those sheets to protect the ornaments. or just cushion the ornaments w/tissue paper or paper towels or discarded gift wrap...just a suggestion.
