Hi ive got another good idea for hang up plastic jars by mounting the lids in a row (say eyelevel) on to the rack and just put the jars back on..this is a space saver ...

Who can't use that hack on how to remove labels and stickers? Even if you don't craft, people need to take price tage or other things off. What a great tip!

Some great new tips. Love the bead painting hack...If you string the beads on some thread before putting them in the jar to paint, you can hang them across anything firm like a cardboard box with notches cut in the top...so the beads dry evenly and without drying blotches on them.

Since I use wooden beads to make small doll replicas of my friends I really love the jar-paint-shake hack! Genius! The thinner paint in various skin colors gives a really nice texture that I could never achieve heretofore.

Love all your "hacks" and projects! I'm a bit of a "late bloomer" at 75, but am having a blast doing crafts. Thank you so much.

Only 60 but been crafting since 4. Yep. I had a true saint of a grandmother who was very old school, and she taught me the basics of embroidery, crochet, knitting, tatting and hand sewing. I started making (quite crude but) Barbie doll clothes and neighbor’s daughters taught me to work with seed beads. Never looked back! No matter who or what, I always look forward to to what others are doing and how they’re doing it. And no matter how young or old you are, crafting fits everyone! I’ll add one more crafty bit: I take projects with me to do in waiting rooms. A lot of times I will chain beads (thread beads onto a coil of wire, make eye loop on each end for stringing together later) and it means tons of tiny wire snippets everywhere. Cut inside a one or two gallon baggie. No flyaways, no scattered mess, won’t fly into your eye.

The cheese jar lid also fits on a standard mason jar. Use an empty pill bottle as a sharps container. Put dull needles, bent pins, and broken-off utility knife blades into it, and discard it safely when full.

If you use the oil first and apply it to the blade it will help get rid of the gummy residue. Then just wipe the blade clean and leave the mechanism oiled. Believe it or not I learned this way back when when I was waxing in my salon. We used baby oil to remove that sticky wax. Not like regular wax it was mixed with honey if I recall. Been several decades LOL! It works though! Oh, not just your craft blade but your wallpaper blade and many other plastic blades have that device on the end.... sorry, sounds like I'm giving you advice I don't mean to

My favorite hacks are repurposing an old Parmesan cheese bottle to hold paintbrushes, using saran wrap and hand sanitizer to clean dried-up paintbrushes, and melting the tip of a glue stick to stop the newest glue stick from falling out of the glue gun. Thanks so much for the hacks.

Loved these hacks! I have thrown away so many paintbrushes because I accidentally left them out, so I'm super excited about trying out that hack, and the bead painting technique is absolute genius.

Sorry, so many people loved the Parmesan cheese paint brush holder/washer but it is not good for brushes to stand in water! Best to swish brushes, then lay out with tips slightly down! This keeps you bristles intact! Really good other tips and information! Blessed and safe days!

Good list. It's best practice not to take the small cuts on the sandpaper with your scissors. Use a larger piece of sandpaper and cut with your entire blade. Those small snips can cause misalignment of the blade.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing

Just want to share an idea when it comes to tube glue. I use toothpaste roller on glue in tubes. They really squeeze out every drop. Also I put Vaseline on the lid & on a long nail that fits in tube. No more problems with lid being stuck. Works great for liquid nail or E3000. Enjoyed your video.

I liked the hand sanitizer removing paint and glue

The hand sanitiser needs to be alcohol-based for the brush and glue residue hacks to work. The one Deirdre uses is 74% alcohol. Nail varnish removers containing acetone (not all do!) or WD-40 spray will also work for both the brush & glue hacks. 👍🙂

Thank you, Ill be on a lookout for that parmesan jar. Hand sanitizer would also help with the permanent marker on the white board. And thats perfectly good way to sharpen your scissors in a hurry, but in a long run, I warmly recommend having a sharpener, plus having different scissors for paper and fabrics (paper dulls them like no other).

These are all great crafting hacks. I'll definitely use the hand sanitizer for the hardened paint brush as well as some of the others.

Another hack that I use all the time, for removing sticky stuff (like label residue) from objects. Use any type of vegetable oil or olive oil.. any type of food oil you have will work. Spread some on and let sit for a bit. After a while, a paper towel will wipe it right away.

3:25 you can do a similar thing with a small hole in a carpet; gather up some carpet fluff, and glue it into the hole. (There's usually more carpet "fluff" under furniture or near the skirting board behind stationary furniture that hasn't been moved in a long while).

You blew it out of the water with this one! The hacks are all terrific. I especially like two - the bread tab on the tape and the E6000. Thanks for sharing.
