Household Hints by Rosemary ~ Smart Quick Tips

Here are some quick and easy hints for everyday applications that have been sent to me by friends over the internet. I'm sure at least a couple will make it into your list of best hints.
1) Push a straw up through the bottom of a strawberry to easily remove the hull.
2) Re-use a wet wipe container to store plastic bags for trash in the car or house.
3) Add a small container of baby powder to your beach bag to easily remove sand; just sprinkle it on and the sand brushes off.
4) In a baby's room it's much easier (and cuter) to store plush toys by mounting a Velcro strip on the wall and attaching the toys. Also saves lots of room in the toy box.
5) Attach two wires about two feet apart to a wall just below ceiling height in a closet to store rolls of wrapping paper.
6) Make a cupcake carrier by cutting crosses into the lid of a box, sit it inside a larger box to transport them without damaging the cupcakes or decoration.
7) Glue a strip of magnetic tape to the inside of a medicine cabinet to hold your hairpins, tweezers or other small metal essentials.
8) Make a craft caddy from a metal muffin pan. Put magnets in the bottom of plastic cups to hold them in place and fill them with crayons, markers and other craft items.
9) Have a problem sorting out the wires to your computer, or electronic system? Use bread bag tags to identify each of the wires, you can easily write on them with a marker pen.
10) Bake cupcakes directly into flat bottom ice cream cones as a tidy and cute treat for kids.
11) Turn your muffin pan upside down and bake cookie dough on it for instant ice cream or fruit cup cookie bowls.
