floor length dresses at the thrift store is a great way to find beautiful fabric to make clothes or to make anything for your home. I am a costumer and it is a great way to get high end fabric for next to nothing!
Curtains and tablecloths, too.
striped and plain drapes make great biblical robes :)
Hi Teri...I Just got a few gorgeous shower curtains to make simple window coverings in my studio...(fibre artist) ...About 35+ years ago I lived in LA & randomly made a MAJOR thrift store find on my lunch break one day...Almost like a warehouse with countless bolts & bolts & stacks of high end fabrics & trims (everywhere you'd look) where it became common for me to see theatre people with costume designers & their storyboards...On more than a few occasions I'd be having so much fun that I ended up spending almost the entire day there...I was a like little kid in a toy store with my little Suzuki I'd always stuffed full... *: )* 💥 💮💢
I was given a 1960 bridesmaids dress when my daughter was 2. Made the sweetest little flower girl dress for her. More people wondering where I got it.
Love them all! The hack to clean glassware is excellent!
I like the fact that you give credit to people for their ideas like with the tape hack. Shows generosity of spirit.
For the pillow hack, I buy cheap king size pillows and stitch 2 seams through the middle, cut between the seams and get 2 pillow forms from each one.
GREAT IDEA!!

🌷🌷🌷1. Always put in a few coffee filters on the bottom of your pot/vessel BEFORE you add soil! This keeps the soil in and still drains great! 2. I always use the denture cleaners in my milk glass vases to clean down a narrow neck or uneven surface, it really works! 🌷🌷🌷
I’ve done that for years!!😊
Thank you.
Omg I will do that from now on. This is genius, I have so many plants in my apartment, why didn't I think of it. Aaarggh. I love you, stranger.
Ice shaken in your vase will also clean uneven surfaces 🧊
It seems you’ve inspired others, There are so many good ideas in the comments as well!
You can use the weekly pill sorters to carry jewelry when you travel too, and if you plan your outfit for each day you can also put the coordinating jewelry in the correct day as well.
Old shower curtains are great for protecting the the boot (trunk) of the car. They can also be used to protect the work surface when painting crafts, or can be used as dust sheets when decorating the house. Great for placing on the potting bench before potting up plants, and used as a ground sheet, under a picnic blanket.
We do this in our house with all our old ones. Makes a great truck liner when taking stuff to the dump & have definitely used them as drop cloths for painting outside.
Love the tips - what a useful channel especially as our income/jobs disappear and our environment gets crammed with our discards…
l
Ingenious! 👍🏼🥰
I love the idea of writing paint info on the back of the light switch cover, but I think I’ll add a dot of the paint itself, too. almost everywhere offers chip matching now, and you could certainly take the cover with you to the store to be matched.

I re-use dryer sheets to wipe wood surfaces (not in direct contact with food), wipe TV screens and polish up faucet fixtures. Using any type of citrus peels, I slightly boil them in water (just enough to cover); then once the liquid is cooled, strain into a spray bottle adding more water. Works great as a degreaser. Still using those same citrus peels, I make little packets using used dryer sheets. I use these as little mini scrubbers for degreasing and polishing. I also re-cycled those plastic coffee creamer bottles to use for watering my house plants ( they have nice pouring spouts). Thank you for sharing so many valuable insights!
Those same citrus peels covered in ACV n then strained works as a great all-purpose cleaner-even on glass! And the ACV kills bacteria
The fruit tray, you could freeze water in the bottom of the one of them. Makes it more stable when moving it around as well bc its not sitting on lumpy ice

For the hack making the planter waterer…. Growing up at 12 I didn’t have a drill and needed to put holes in a plastic planter I tried over and over with a screwdriver and had the idea of heating the tip of the screw driver over the stove for a few seconds it popped through that super thick plastic like butter! When you don’t have access to somethings it really makes you work your brain if you really want to do something! The screwdriver doesn’t get ruined at all! By the time you go to dig out the drill you could’ve opened that messy kitchen drawer and heated the screw driver for a few seconds. Also if you don’t want to buy a drill boom you’re good. I have a drill now, it’s handy but not as handy as this is!!! Try it!
The glass light covers also make really nice water fountains.
When I travel with my necklaces, I use Kleenex tissues. I lay out the tissue, lay my necklace on top and roll the tissue around the necklace. I then fold it in half and put them in my makeup kit. That keeps them from tangling…Love all your ideas!
Thank you! I'm traveling more & this is a real problem for me. Appreciate the tip.
I use old pill bottles stored in a notebook pencil case for face powder makeup, Kabuki brush and jewelry. Easy to carry in backpack or small carry-on
I use jewelry zip lock bags for each piece of jewelry. No tangling, no earrings mismatched, etc. (They're very inexpensive at a craft store or online.) Instead of using tissues (which tend to leave lint behind) I buy Gift Wrapping Tissue $1.25 for 24 sheets at the local dollar store and wrap my jewelry. I cut the individual sheets up if I don't need that much. Thanks for you hacks!!!
"Many moons ago" I used Kleenex to wrap each piece of jewelry!!! We stayed in a hotel and I was going to wear my pearls to dinner but changed my mind and wore a different necklace. When we returned home from our trip and I put my jewelry away, I realized my pearls weren't there. Evidently, the maid threw them away with the Kleenex!!! You can bet I never used Kleenex to wrap my jewelry again!!! I use the little jewelry plastic zip bags.
Me too!!!
Great ideas, as usual! A couple of hacks for your consideration: soaking apple slices in a solution of 1/2 tsp salt and 1 cup water for 10 min prevents them from browning. Just drain after the 10 min and refrigerate. Great for lunches and snacks!
And…
To defrost food like veggies or meat faster, place a cookie sheet on the counter, put the food on the sheet, and then add another sheet pan on top. Metal is a better conductor of heat than air and as a result your food will thaw faster.
Thanks for the great content!
much easier to defrost meat in the microwave on the defrost function, takes minutes
Thx for the defrosting tip 🎉
I can tell you from experience that you absolutely CAN taste the salt if you do this. I prefer using lemon juice.
@@JupiterJamie Ha, that’s funny - it’s not salty to me at all. And using lemon juice makes it taste like a lemon-apple - yuck! 😂
soaking apple slices in a Lil bit of Sprite works also!!!
the best container I’ve found to water houseplants is the empty international coffee creamer ones. Awesome pour spout!
Thanks I will try that. They are good containers that I hated
throwing out.
Interesting! I use wine bottles with a screw top but creamer bottles could also work as I drink lots of coffee and wine
@@nursemel77 The creamers are lighter than wine bottles ... a friend told me that. (teehee)

Since I don't have a dishwasher, I use denture tabs to clean mugs that get coffee or tea stains.
try baking soda, distilled vinegar and a squirt of Dawn dish soap. works wonders.
Years ago I heard about using denture cleaner for vases (and other odd-shaped containers). It always works VERY well!
Not sure if anyone else already said this but... For the throw pillow hack with a standard bed pillow, compact the stuffing inside the pillow until it is on one end and roughly the shape of a square. Then just fold over the extra material and stuff the whole thing into the throw pillow cover, virtually no lumps and bumps! Thanks Liz for all of the tips!
I use a cheap pillow for filler for stuffed animals I crochet, works great and is less expensive than buying filler.
DO you remove the pillow casing?
I think ikea make 20x20 cushion pads or 25x25 pads.
@Cynthia Biel I wash the pillow and the use the stuffing!
@@sandravinup5102 I'll
The denture tables works great cleaning your yellow or white gold jewelry they sparkle beautifully
Awesome ideas. Take a bit of caution using baby oil on stuff (kitchen sink). It doesn't decompose, will line the pipes and eventually promote build up and clogs.Years ago it was a trend to cover your skin with baby oil after showering to 'trap' the moisture, but it didn't take long to hear that washing it off created clogged drains. Aside from that, these are great tips and ideas...keep up the good work!
I remember putting baby oil in my bath water just a few drops and I never had trouble with pipes that was in my young year's after I lay out in the sun and tan beds
Why does every crafters Dollar Tree look more stocked than mine? I love the hack with the glass light fixtures and live succulents. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💜
@Lorraine Hicks. Mine too. And I have checked other 1.25 stores with less variety than mine. Same with thrift shops.
@@sdeaglefeather glad I'm not the only one but sure wish they would stock more especially in the crafters square 💜
Wow love your video! All action little chat- The best combo! I can’t stand those Chatty Cathy videos that go on and on and show you nothing! Thanks for your hard work!
Loved the "Remember your paint color" hack! I needed this! Thanks
Liz, I also sprinkle a couple drops of lemon essential oil on a cotton ball and place it in the front air vents of my car. Lemon e.o. is great for staying focused especially while driving and makes the car smell great. Thanks for all your great videos!
Peppermint oil is good too as a wake-me-up.
You can also do this with wooden clothespins (I got some from D.T.) - and it clips into your vent. Once the oil dries up, unclip and reapply. I did this for me and hubby's cars.
@@juliamccarthy4632 my girlfriend glued a small square of cork to her clothespin and drops oil on it
Also add essential oils to your dishwasher in the ( jet dry area )with white vinegar
And orange / lemon / lime essential oil

Denture tablets work great for cleaning stainless steel thermos’s. I used these every week when my husband was working. Cleans them very sparkly and removes odors too.
Wow, that stainless steel thermos idea is great. Have you tried it in cops like Yeti cups?
They also do a great job for whitening your whites if they are starting to show some yellowing.
Thanks so much! My daughter is always leaving unclean ones at my house, & I don't always find them quickly enough! This will make life much easier to not waste them. 👏
If you have any left over lemons: Slice the lemon and then place the slices on a baking sheet (which has previously been covered with cling wrap, aluminium foil, or baking parchment). Place the baking sheet of lemon slices in the freezer, once frozen place them in a ziplock bag and they're ready to add to cold drinks whenever you need them. You can also do this with other citrus fruit too.
I slice my oranges and put them in I've tray to freeze so I cam add the frozen orange to my hot tea I make myself. ( Basically just cinnamon and sugar)
Or add lemons cut up in bite size pieces and freeze them in candy molds silicone ones
I live in government housing and so we can't change the walls or light fixtures. So, it is fun to see home hacks that I could actually use in my apartment. I am eager to try the rice knife sharpening hack. I have been having to have someone else bring their tools to sharpen my knives, so was pleased to see your trick worked. I can't wait to try it.
It works I keep mine on the counter and add silk flowers 🌸
Simple self stick wall paper wall tiles
My Mom used to use a sprinkler bottle like the one you made to water your plants. She sprinkled clothes and rolled them up into a plastic bag. Then she put them in the refrigerator. When she was ready to iron, she took them out and they were perfectly damp for ironing.
Oh what a good memory! My mom did that too w/ my Dads white shirts when he was in the navy.Didnt know anyone that I could share fun memory with! Enjoy your day🙂
❤My Beloved Mother did that as well! Thanks for bringing out a special memory for me. ❤
So did every other mother in the 50’s.
Did we have the same mother?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but for removing labels off of glass jars you want the acetone nail polish remover instead of the Non-acetone. The acetone works much quicker and gets the glass very clear🤩.
A low-key alternative is to soak the label overnight (sometimes longer) in oil. I will typically just spread the oil on the label of a glass jar, and then put it out of the way on a flat plate or bowl to soak. Oil breaks down glue, it's the chemistry of it. A small amount of labels will leave a super difficult "calcium build-up" type --type of super thin material which is hard to remove. I don't know what that super thin material is actually made from, but --and I hate to say this ---I've gotten it off with the "spit shine" method. I've only come across small amounts of it, but, the "spit shine" method of using your own spit, is a good last resort. I usually remove labels with oil because it's less toxic in general and on my hands, and is easier (olive oil from the pour bottle for the stove), as long as I designate an out of the way spot on the counter for the overnight soaking, U just wanted to mention the idea, because a lot of people stress over getting labels off, when easy tricks are available.
Some labels wll come off in a soak in bicarbonate of soda or baking soda water, wine bottles for sure.
Take a heat gun or a blow dryer . The heat will loosen up the glue, and it will come right off.
D-limonene easily removes paper labels and adhesive residue, you only need a little, so the small bottle will last a long time.
Try WD40
I just wanted to take a moment to comment about your lampshade succulent potting hack. I ❤ the idea. I have worked with succulents for several years now and when you are repotting, the plants love it if you loosen up the soil from the roots during the process because it helps them to grow even more than just putting them in new soil. This also is good for other plants. I hope this helped someone.
The denture tables work great for thermoses. Thanks for the Hacks! Have a wonderful day!
For the full bottles of toiletries travel hack, after you do the cling wrap, if you put bottles standing up in a Ziploc gallon bag, and then place them in your suitcase so that the bottoms are going to be towards the bottom of your suitcase when you’re pulling it vertically, that’s a second barrier. I do realize that the luggage handlers are going to throw them around, but that double layer of protection makes me feel better … and if we’re driving instead of flying, even better.
I use the ziplock (airlines use to require them. Using with that saran is even better.
You have a gift for talking, a perfect voice, great at explaining, you get to the point. Congrats!! My ADD/ADHD brain can follow you.
Me too ❤
Mine too!!
Oh yes! I have used the Amazon photo trick on food, clothes, things my friends have that I'm wanting to find...its pretty useful. I used to clean houses and used the baby oil on sinks and stainless appliances. It was my secret and clients loved coming home to how pretty it was.
I just sprayed the bottoms of 4 red mugs (to start a diy project) with oil pan spray, like Pam. I let it sit for a bit, was actually 2 hours because I got busy elsewhere, and the labels and sticky glue lifted off easy peasy. Washed them in warm soapy water and now ready to craft! 👍😊
🏆 handy so this will save me time (& I won’t use goo gone).
That denture tablet was the bomb. Never heard of that hack before. Thank you
Everything looked wonderful!! You have done a great job with everything!
Like your idea on covering your bench cushion, but if you just use safety pins instead of glue, you can take it off to wash it again. Because we all know kids tend to spill
Or velcro ...
Or even use Velcro ( glue it on )
Right? Why do they even sell sewing machines anymore? We have hot glue.
@@IrkallaC do you spose hot glue would hold clothes together??
@@PK-bh1ww course, hot glue holds everything! (It's sarcasm by the by, I seldom use hot glue.)
I did something similar to the tile with the drawer pulls as feet but I used a small cutting board with matching wood drawer pulls for the feet. I'm going to do it again but with something longer than a cutting board and I'll use it as a riser in the middle of my dining room table. I can decorate it with candles, flowers ect or I can put food on it
@MommaG That would make a nice "charcuterie board." 👍

For candles you should be trimming the wick before lighting each time. That way your candle burns more evenly and you don't get the big flames eith black smoke . Baby oil helps get sticker residue off of things too.
I trim my wicks too!
RE denture cleaner: It was originally recommended to me for cleaning tea stains off of delicate china, but it also works with ceramic coffee mugs and vases.
I have used denture cleaner tablets to clean jewelry for years. So great for diamonds and gemstones, even some costume jewelry. At the end of the video where you were trying to get the label off the jar with nail polish remover, I’ve tried this with little success.. however, I now use a cotton ball and vegetable oil. It removes the paper and the sticky residue from the label quite easily on glass jars as well as plastic canisters and storage containers. You are not using a lot of oil, therefore, it is easy to rinse after you remove the label. Thank you for all these great ideas!
Fulling with hot water and letting sit for 5 min allows for easy peeling every time! Got to remember to empty and peel while still warm though!
I use a exel paper in the computer to fill in all the house paint numbers and when I painted or oiled the fence or terass. Then I save in a cloude so I can change or add to it. Sorry for my bad English!Love all you’re tips❣️
Your English was absolutely fine. I had no trouble understanding what you were saying.
what a neat jewelry hack. I use old cans from Altoids for my jewelry travel. for long-term jewelry storage, I had some parts cabinets that my rings and ear rings, pins and smaller necklaces were in. Those were also valuable to put in my car when I moved across country and it was shipped. I use nail polish on my keys.
First hack is game changing... as a dessert artist I'm always looking for ways to easily sprinkle powder sugar and cocoa on plated and deserts... here you come with this!
I do that trick (for Comet cleaner)and just use the container and lid instead of throwing the container away. You can also use spice containers that have smaller holes. I have a Tupperware container I use to sprinkle flour on pans for baking.
Excellent!
I use that Google image search all the time! Browns was selling the rhinestone Rihanna bag for $150.00 and I found the identical bag for $38.00. And yes - heavy, excellent quality. A lot of commercial products are made cheaply overseas even for mid-range retailers
What works even better to keep paint fresh: put plastic wrap directly on surface of paint. Works great for spackle too.
Agreed! Removing as much air as possible from between the film & the paint or plaster helps minimize mold formation. When I use most of a gallon of paint, I pour the leftover into a mason jar (less room for air & smaller to store), add plastic film against the paint surface & over the rim, then pop on a lid.

If you haven’t tried Press & Seal Versus the Clear plastic wrap. IMO it’s a game changer. It adheres better, it is MUCH MORE air tight, and it keeps things or carbonated much longer. I’ve never been a fan of clear cling wrap (admittedly) it’s just hard to work with. Press andSeal is life changing.
I reuse my glass pasta sauce and pickle jars for dry goods in the pantry - rice, dry pasta noodles, lentils, dry beans, cornmeal, and grits store great in these containers and can be labeled for easy identification.
I keep the rubber bands off of asparagus and herb bunches in a drawer then reuse them later when needed.
I get castile soap (yo, Dr. Bronner!) and mix it with Dawn plus water to make a great dish washing agent. To make solution fill an empty 24 oz Dawn container with a 5th of Dr Bronner's, then add a 5th of Dawn to the container, and add water to the top (a low flow is best). Close up the bottle and gently turn it bottom over top until combined (try not to make suds as that is the cleaning agent). It will be fluid but a little goes a long, long way. This helps your Dawn to last longer but still cleans a tremendous amount of dishes. I use about a quarter cup per sinkful of water (I believe my sink holds three gallons).
For those who have firepits - don't toss your wood ash - save it and sprinkle it on trees and bushes. The sodium bicarbonate is good for them. Same with banana peels - the potassium in banana peels acts as plant food.
Last one - don't throw out toilet paper rolls or your dryer lint! Store your dryer lint in a container and when you go to make a fire pack some of that lint into the empty roll, squeezing the ends to keep the lint inside. These are great for camping or for the backyard firepit.
Add water to your squeeze bottle first. Then add the soap/Dawn/Bonners and you'll avoid the bubble. Then cap and rotate to mix.
Hi Liz. Another idea for the winter is add Ice Melt to cheap stockings or pantyhose after you cut off the legs and lay the full stocking along the edge of the roof or in the gutters. It will keep ice buildup from backing up in the edges of your shingles and help keep ice cycles from hanging off the house. Obviously,try to get stocking that match the roof or at least all one color. It worked for me in Michigan and my friends up there still use them.
Omg this is amazing Sandra. Dumb question lol do j put the stocking on the very edge where the water drains down? Does it have to be the nylon type material? The co. Who did my gutters stated that is happening because of my attic!!!! This gutter co. Is one big joke. The drains are coming off the house, they not returning my calls. Long awful story.. thanku sooooo much for the tip. I'm in ohio lol
@@karens7620 I actually put them just at the end of my roof. They eventually lost the chemicals and just blew off the roof. I am happy I could post this so people would be able to try it out. BTW…GO BLUE! 😉😊
@@sandravinup5102 thanku so much for replying & I'm going to try that. For sure 👍 I sure wish I saw this yesterday before this crazy weather today. Lol 😆 Michigan is literally down the street lol 😆
Dot the vanilla extract onto your lightbulb, turn on and it puts off a yummy smell. Avon skin so soft, removes sticky residue too
Careful this can start a fire
Love the glass lamp shade that you put plants in it, super elegance.
The dawn power wash is also amazing for cleaning makeup brushes. Spray on, work it in gently, let sit for a few minutes and throughly rinse and let dry
Those little punch ins on your foil and plastic wrap have been there for years, for that very purpose
Hi Liz👋
You are my fave 😅channel for decor and hacks I loved the hammer
Hi Katie
Your reply sounds kinda rude but I a
I also knew that I suppose maybe she’s so busy she never looked 🥰
@@katiesutter7130 What I really hate is how the metal cutting edges come loose so you have an edged "spring" to cut the foil or maybe your finger.
Great ideas! I use wooden chopsticks also to reach toast/bread stuck in the toaster. No metal. No burn. Unplugged appliance of course!
I use a toothpick to stick into the top of the toast when it's ready.and you don't have to unplug the toaster..

Liz, when using large laundry container on it's side. Unscrew lid before you push knob to get your soap. It will go from a slow drizzle to fast flow.
I leave mine screwed on just tight enough to keep it on. But I must say, I keep mine on the edge of the shelf right next to my washer and I've never had it leak or drip.
@Tammie Hammett 👍Yes, and you can also poke a tiny hole at the top to let the air in/out.

I don't know what your end game is, but for you to be reaching out in fake friendship to everyone on this entire thread "so in time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future" is very creepy.

I use denture cleaner tablets to clean my jewelry (not the plated pieces just good gold and silver and real gem stones).
RN here. Yep, the folding the end over on the roll is the simplest ever method fir all types of tape.
The necklace in the straw and the pill box for jewelry hacks are game changers!! Thank you!
Thank you for the reminder of using the wire ‘basket’ over the shelf trick!!
I did know about the holes in the plastic wrap/aluminum foil boxes.
Oh my gosh! I cannot list all the amazing things you’ve inspired me to do throughout this whole video they are too numerous to keep commenting on one by one What a fantastic video this has been!! ❤❤❤
I’ve been using straws to sort my necklaces for 30 years… and now I’ve seen it twice this week on hack videos. Cut straws in half for bracelets, too.
When freezing water, coffee, stale pop in the freezer make sure that the bottle is tilted enough that the opening is free of liquids.
Love, love, love these ideas! For the pan hack, it also works for pyrex casserole dishes. Those dishes can be stored tall or sideways. Am going to implement a lot of these. many thanks!
OMG that freezer water bottle hack has saved my life as I go on hikes and especially in the summer the water is warm no matter what. But at least this way you have a head start and I may freeze three quarters of a bottle of water and add one quarter to defrost even slower lasting cooler longer. Thanks for great hack!!!

To remove labels on plastic or glass, use spray WD40. Don't use water. Peel off as much of the label as possible. Then spray the area with WD40 let set for a few minutes, then you can clean the label and glue off. Works better the nail polish remover and puts a shin on plastic. Love your channel.
Vase stain removal - put some salt or anything gritty and some water and shake it, swirl it. It gets scrubbed even when you cannot fit your hand in. Crushed ice and salt was how we got burned on coffee from restaurant coffee globes!
I’ve been using the denture tablets for cleaning all kinds of shapes of vases for years and I’ve never been disappointed! Especially vases that are beautiful but are very unusual shapes that are so extremely frustrating you’d rather throw them out than try to clean them!
I’ve been doing this for years. It works!
Works well in you toilet too!
Hack #54 ….. use a mason jar for freshly washed strawberries and place in the fridge. The strawberries will last longer . Another hack I found awesome, is put your onions in a pair of pantyhose and hang in a cool dark place, and your onions will last longer before they start sprouting
Thanks. Oh my.The Amazon photo is a game changer!!!! It's amazing how many seemingly trivial but extremely helpful things most of us don't know, like the foil.
Loved the hacks but question putting mouth wash in a plastic soap container. Food grade plastics are much different than plastic for other uses, Glass would be a much safer option.
I’m proud to say a few of those I’ve already been doing but this is a game changer video!! Most of these I would have never ever known!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤😊
Ok!!! You got me. You got me! I will watch you forever!!!!!
Use dryer sheets attached to a floor swiffer sweeper to clean baseboards and trim; not only does this clean off any smudges like fingerprints or crayon marks, but it also works as duster at same time,as the dust clings to the dryer sheets instantly. Plus as a bonus, it leaves your home smelling clean and crisp, and laundry fresh!
I had not noticed about the ceiling fan switch. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Love the white flower way to transfer to a bowl w/o any mess. Thank you!! 🤩
I loved that too. Sadly the only time I use flower in a bowl I need measurements. How much does a large whisk pull? Great hack!
Amazing Liz..you are so clever 👏
i use an office stand up mail/file holder as a chopping board/mats holder in the cabinet. it works great for storing cookie wire cooler racks. adore all the marvelous ideas. many i just cann't wait to try out. my cutter spaces thank you.

Succulents in a special planter! Wow!!!
Liz, all are great tips! 👍
I will use them all (some I have already used prior to your podcast). I am happy to have learned them all, but love, love the Amazon search tip! 😃
A large dish soap container makes a better plant watering device as the snap cap keeps the water from evaporating and the lid opening makes it easier to control where the water goes.
Yep, I have tried putting holes in lids of various sized bottles and it always dribbles and makes a mess no matter the size and number of holes.
Excellent! Either a sports water bottle, or a cleaned out dish detergent bottle sounds great!
Love this! Currently, I am using a large Essentia bottle for my upstairs plants. It’s 50oz ans I can control the flow like a detergent bottle. 💖💖💖
No I'm@@grownfolksperspectives
I always use denture cleaners for stubborn water stains in my glasses! It’s a great idea, thanks for sharing!

for buffing up stainless steel use vinegar. best way to disinfect as well orange peels or lemon peels with 1 cup water to 2 cups vinegar. I use it to clean windows, my kitchen, my bathroom, toilet included. Works wonderful and I even use it to clean my hardwood floors.
Okay, that was really fun and super helpful! Thanks, Liz! 😊

I noticed running really hot water inside the jar helps heat the glass and loosen the glue from the label, making it easier to peel off.
Yes, I do this and let it sit for a few minutes. It works great! Comes right off.
And running a hair dryer over the outside, too. I prefer the hot water and hair dryer because then I can just quickly clean off the adhesive residue with lemon essential oil.
Yep, works like a charm no mess!
So many great hacks I’m going to use! Thanks Liz!
THANK YOU!!!!! Mrs Liz❤
Re: Fan switch hack. I suggest you put a small unobtrusive mark beside the switch to indicate which position it should be in for which season. If your switch in the up position spins your fan in the clockwise direction, mark beside the switch with a "W" when it's there then stack an "S" above that since the switch will be up there for Summer (counter clockwise spinning).

Hi Kalyn, Happy Birthday to your hubby. I send my thoughts and good vibes and prayers to you to make you strong. One day at a time is what I say because I am going through the same with my hubby. We both enjoy your haul and then try to find the same things that you haul. Thank you for bringing the adventure and the sunshine into our home. May God give you the strength to continue your journey of being there helping the ones you love. Just remember to take care of yourself as well. ❤
I love the bottle for watering indoor plants. I will definitely be using this ❤
I like the water bottle with ice hack. Never thought 🤔 about it!
I love how you put where we can purchase the items you use, that is so helpful, I dearly love 💘💕💗❤💖♥💘💕💗all your programs. Both of you keep up the great work. Rhonda from Georgia
To spot luggage, my mom used to make a big "pouf" of the hot pink very common and affordable, narrow curling ribbons, and tie it onto the handle, so that it's up high and more visible. It's such an excellent trick, but she was the only one I knew of who was using it.

Thank you very much !!! 💕💕💕💕
To prevent hitting your fingers when hammering, simply put nail into the tongs of a fork. Put the head of the nail into the bowl of the fork so the nail is sticking out of the back of the fork. Use the fork to hold the nail. You don't have to hold chopsticks together.
I tend to just fold a little of the end of any tape over so I can easily find it again.
Next time you can put the flowers in first and then put the peas in after, then you will see if you need more.
Thank you so much for the demonstrations especially about the foil box, I also checked the saran wrap box too, thank you again 🙏🙏🙏🤟🤟🤟
wow liz!! You are amazing with your wonderful tips and ideas...thank you so much for sharing them with us...i watch you alot and learn so much hugs jeanne
The baby oil back is used in many cleaning businesses I used it when I was working for Merry Maids in Albuquerque we used it in stainless steel fridges too it really works and we used vinegar for glass cleaner
The only window cleaner my mother used was hot water and vinegar. She used old newspaper to actually wash the windows. No streaks, no lint.

@Liz Fenwick DIY For those stubborn, sticky labels on jars, I peel the label, then I just use a paper towel and a few drops of Olive Oil and wipe in circular motions. Then I follow up with a fresh paper towel and some 70% Alcohol and then the Oil residue is completely gone with the glass jar Ready to use! 🙌👍😊
Omgosh I just tried this and it worked perfectly! Thank you 😊
Lemon oil also works great for sinks. If you have a black sink it makes it look brand new, works amazing on everything & smells clean
#6 paint tip. I paint a square on the inside of the switch because sometimes they discontinue the paint color. You can take the plate to the store and they can computer match from the swatch
Liz, I love the zip Tie Hack That is great! I also love the water bottle hack I have not tried it I'm so excited! Thank you so much!

The container at 45:40 is great to store bags with handles from the grocery store too. Just put the bottom half of the bag through the handles of the previous bag and stuff them into the container as you continue doing that with each bag. Then put the last bag through the hole in the lid of the container. It works like a tissue box.
I’m getting ready to try this now. I’m just not sure I understand the lacing the bag technique. I’m going to give it a try though!
Thank you, Liz, for sharing. I always enjoy your videos.
I've froze half full water bottles for years. Love it
Hi Liz!! I love your videos! What I like to do with my under the shelf/counter organizer is put it on my cabinet door and put the cleaning items I use every day in it. Also, you can face it on the inside of the cabinet so it doesn't show. I've also found that they hold paper plates, zip lock bags(in their boxes), and foil, Saran wrap, etc.. perfectly!
