I am a retired preschool teacher. Years and years ago, we would dye macaroni for all kinds of crafts. To color them, we used rubbing alcohol and food coloring. If coloring macaroni, just don't leave it in the alcohol too long! I have used this to color beads also. I have no idea why we used alcohol, but it is what I still used.
@Whiskeyandwhit I asked my fellow teachers, and it has to do with the drying time. Intense color without the pasta getting soggy. Alcohol evaporates faster than water.
Thank you for including the wrap bracelet idea and telling us where you find them! I have been looking for them in the stores around me but was looking in the school supply section for some reason! Now I need to go back and look in the party section. Fingers crossed I can find them because I love this idea so much!!!!
I think this is the best “hack” video I’ve ever watched; hacks I can actually use. Today is my first day on your channel, I stumbled on it when watching someone else’s. I’ll be back! Thank you!
I love that you have the products link on the screen and you just click on it and it brings up the product and the price. Very very convenient and definitely keeps me coming back to your channel.
So glad! That’s a new RUclips feature, I also have everything linked in the description because not every brand is supported with the in video shipping as an fyi ♥️
Oh wow!! So smart!! Thank you!! I have NO cupholders in my car & keep those cardboard carriers in the backseat for when I need to get a drink or more than one drink but they're not sturdy at all. Your idea 💡 is Brilliant!! Thank you!
Congratulations on your pregnancy 🎉 Pray you have a great and blessed pregnancy. Oh my, what great💡 ideas. Thanks for letting us know about the storage boxes
Those clear Barbie cases are great for organizing the contents of the console and glove box in your car. I made a first aid kit with one; chapstick lotion & sunblock in another; small pad of paper, pens, clips a safety pins in yet another. Napkins, extra straws and wet wipes for on the go meals from the drive through. They slip right into the door pockets of the car as well.
oh Whit, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of using the shopping bags - I have an over abundance of them - I will be using them to store my Mother's decorations in, as well as my own and also I can add some essential oils to help with the scent too. loved the other tips and tricks as well :D thanks
You look amazing! So excited for your new baby! I love the Barbie storage hack. I have quite a bit of sewing supplies and these work great for storing them. Thanks for such great ideas!
I love the pop-dot tape for hand towels and the felt pads to prevent scratches on walls and doors. I also like the guide lights is a great idea. I'm a clutz too! Pregnancy looks good on you! You're glowing! Congratulations!!🎉
So nice to see a pic of you and your baby bump!! You are awesome!! I loved seeing your little helper Finn's hands helping you, so adorable!! I could never find the snap bracelets whenever I went to any of the local dollar tree, so I ordered a bunch from Amazon and they seriously are a game changer!! I have them on all my rolls of vinyl now and it's so much neater!! Thanks again for a jam packed video!! Looking forward to your next chocked filled video!! Stay well and "happy crafting" 👍♥
I’m so relieved to see this! 😅 I bought a bunch of that before finding out it doesn’t work well for its intended purpose, and have wondered what to do with it!
I am a new subscriber and love all your great ideas and dupes! So hard to pick a favorite. Tfs and congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your new little blessing! ❤
Great hacks!!! I love the idea of using the snap bracelets on rolls of whatever. In my case I will use them for my stabilizer for my embroidery machine.
Great video, some I have not seen and Remax of oldies but goodies. Glad to see you in live time!!! You look beautiful! Glowing and refreshed ! I’m praying you are taking time for yourself! Great video as always.❤
I really liked how you made the flower stems look so much better. The problem is the leaves! The pumpkins and fall leaves looked great! Many of the storage tips are helpful. And the ideas for plastic hangers!
Hi, new subscriber here. 🙋🏼♀ I clicked on your video because of the thumbnail of the soak-off finger things and I was amazed at all the ideas you shared. 😍 I'm excited to try your ideas. I especially loved the flower arrangement ideas you shared. Congrats on your pregnancy. 🤰🏼 Prayers and Blessings from Carson City NV 🙏🏼🪻💜
I love it when you show the different fabrics .I'm thinking and probably will start collecting the baby blues,pinks bunny's deer and such I want to make my youngest 2 great grandbabys a baby quilt a piece..we just had my 4th great grandchild, she's a girl and I want to make her a quilt from soft dt fabric and my 7 month old great grandchild one too..something the mommy's can save after they've outgrown them and to know how much I loved them incase I'm gone before they are old enough to remember granny
Thank you Whitney for sharing these great ideas. I purchased the dollar tree storage containers with the snap lids after watching ur video last year, these worked out great in my craft room!! Love the food coloring for the beads idea! Also the slap bracelet idea, and ribbon storage using hanger and rubber band!
goodness you gave so many good ideas. snap bracelets for vinyl, the bags must say it was all good. thank you and so excited for you for the little one coming
These are great ideas. I have looked for the slap bracelets everywhere but haven’t found any yet. My favorite is the silicone pot holder. I never thought about using it for paint and cleaning brushes. Thank you.
I love the vacuum seal bags. I'm a sewer and have been collecting fabric for 20 years. Being able to condense it all takes up so much less storage space.
I watched your first hack, and already I'm hooked. Such a simple solution to a common source of annoyance...brilliant! Can't wait to watch the others, but already subbed. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Whitney thank you for the ideas. I love the Barbie case idea. Going to pick them up. Good for travel. I like the ideas about the DT flowers to interchange them. Thank you. Have a Blessed week.
Hey! I have big finger too! Those regular ones are too tight and uncomfortable for me. So I’m happy to see those other things work. And the slap bracelet idea is genius! Thanks, enjoyed the video my dear. ❤️💜💚
Love those Snap lights. I'm going on to get them right away. I use night lights throughout the house now. I always struggle because they use an outlet. Game changer 😊
I went to the website link for the Snap lights. Such a bummer because they are sold out of the white regular outlet ones. Please (if you can) advertise them again when they get stock in. 😢
There were so many great hacks in this video! I will definitely be getting those snap power covers! My fingers don’t fit in the protectors either…so I slit them… but those protectors look way better. Happy you are doing well with your pregnancy! 🎉.
Hey Whit...you are so adorable with your baby bump, thanks for sharing🤗 I love your hack videos, hard to pick a favorite each time, but this time...I'd have to say gluing the mark caps in the marker caddy is my favorite. What a great idea!!!
Hi Whitney. Love your shirt. You look great. Love all these hacks. I use the silicone mat, but before they came out with that, I used the silicone potholder for my glue gun. Love all the containers. I have many of them. The party bracelets work great for the vinyl. Have an amazing week and weekend.
Yes! the Barbie bag- I just sewed 2 elastic strips along the inside sewing it about every 1.5” and turned it into an electronics cords holder. It works so perfect.
Wow! So many great ideas. 😃 Thank you for sharing! Its hard to pick just one. I made a list so next time I go to Dollar 🌳 I'll look for them. I really like the idea for the snap bracelets for wrapping paper and such. I've used rubber bands in the past but those get old and break and even get stuck to the paper. I'm also excited to try other ideas like the Barbie bags. ❤ Congratulations!🎉 You are absolutely glowing and look so sweet. Blessings to you and your family! 💕

Good idea Whitney.
Whitney that ribbon 🎀 hack is awesome.
That is neat about the slap bracelets.
Slap bracelets for wrapping paper!! BRILLIANT!!!! I literally gasped out loud watching that. LOL!!😄
Love it! 😍
I am a retired preschool teacher. Years and years ago, we would dye macaroni for all kinds of crafts. To color them, we used rubbing alcohol and food coloring. If coloring macaroni, just don't leave it in the alcohol too long! I have used this to color beads also. I have no idea why we used alcohol, but it is what I still used.
Good to know, it must help the color stick?
@Whiskeyandwhit I asked my fellow teachers, and it has to do with the drying time. Intense color without the pasta getting soggy. Alcohol evaporates faster than water.
My favorite hacks
1. Coloring wood beads
2. Silicone mat to clean your brushes
Thank you for sharing all your useful hacks
Yes, alcohol makes your dyed pasta/rice dry much faster.
Congrats on your pregnancy! So happy for you! You are simply glowing and so happy! Thank you for another informative video.
Thank you so much for watching and the well wishes! I’m finally feeling not so sick so I’m trying to get as much done as I can!
Love the idea of taking leaves off stems and replacing them with fall b leaves. The floral arrangement is beautiful. Tfs. Good ideas. God Bless.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for including the wrap bracelet idea and telling us where you find them! I have been looking for them in the stores around me but was looking in the school supply section for some reason! Now I need to go back and look in the party section. Fingers crossed I can find them because I love this idea so much!!!!
Totally! Also if you can’t find them at DT, you can also grab them from Amazon: amzn.to/4dgMCAT
@@KCorrine That definitely was the best tip. Mind blown.
Look in the party supplies. I think they are party favors
I think this is the best “hack” video I’ve ever watched; hacks I can actually use. Today is my first day on your channel, I stumbled on it when watching someone else’s. I’ll be back! Thank you!
She is GREAT! 😁
Always bringing tons of DT hacks and uses, etc.
Thank you Stacey!!

I use the square organizer with 4 slots for bringing home drinks or Dairy Queen. No more mess in my car!
Great idea!!
Oh wow!! So smart!! Thank you!! I have NO cupholders in my car & keep those cardboard carriers in the backseat for when I need to get a drink or more than one drink but they're not sturdy at all. Your idea 💡 is Brilliant!! Thank you!
Most of these I have seen before, but the slap bracelet hack is new to me!! Love it!
So glad! One of my favorites!
Omg I've been longing for some legitimate and relatable craft hacks! New subscriber because of this video! Thank you and I can't wait to watch more!
Yay! Thank you! And welcome!!
Gluing the marker tops to the container was definitely my favorite ❤️!!!
It helps so much!
The wrap bracelets, such a great idea. Your baby bump is precious. Take care and thank you for sharing your great ideas.
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations on your pregnancy 🎉 Pray you have a great and blessed pregnancy. Oh my, what great💡 ideas. Thanks for letting us know about the storage boxes
Thank you so much!!
The felt drawer organizer was my favorite... I have so many knickknacks to pack away. That's going to be a game changer!😊
Yay so glad!!
The felt organizer things would make good separators for ornament boxes.
Totally!! 🌲
You always have so many amazing ideas!!!!!! Thanks for sharing them with us!!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!!

Great ideas! I like both the hacks for storing your ribbons. Btw... you look so beautiful with the baby glow.
Oh thank you! You are so sweet 🥰 finally starting to feel more like myself!
The hanger trick for ribbon is also great for garden flags!
Yes that’s a great idea too!

Thank you Whitney. Finn is adorable !
I think so too! 🥰
I like using the $ 🌳 vinyl for decorating cardboard boxes to reuse as a decorative box or even cover a shoe box w/ it for storage
That’s a great use!
I’m so relieved to see this! 😅 I bought a bunch of that before finding out it doesn’t work well for its intended purpose, and have wondered what to do with it!
Love these hacks..congratulations to you and your husband and Finn...may God Bless you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I like the barbie bags for keeping my mail in check. Perfect size for business envelopes.
That's a great idea!
Congrats on your pregnancy. I use the vacuum bags to send quilts across the country. It works great- the quilt stays clean and dry and it’s cheap too
Thank you! And that’s a great idea!!
All great ideas!! I'm moving and will finally have a craft room. These ideas are a tremendous help. I'll be watching over and over
Yay!

Great idea!!
I use Murphy’s Oil for my forgotten paint brushes. I forget them for a long time and this has saved me so much money!!
Great tip! I’ll have to keep that in mind ♥️
You always have great ideas & crafts.
Thank you! 😊
I love the Barbie accessories bag!
Me too!! One of my favorite finds!
Genius idea with rubber and on ribbon!😊
Great job!!!! Loved the tips- especially the silicone pot holders
Wow! So many great ideas. 😃 Thank you for sharing! Its hard to pick just one. I made a list so next time I go to Dollar 🌳 I'll look for them. I really like the idea for the snap bracelets for wrapping paper and such. I've used rubber bands in the past but those get old and break and even get stuck to the paper. I'm also excited to try other ideas like the Barbie bags. ❤
Congratulations!🎉 You are absolutely glowing and look so sweet. Blessings to you and your family! 💕
Yay! I’m always making DT lists lol ♥️♥️
