If you’ve ever had one of those “why didn’t I think of that?!” moments, you’re going to love these creative tips. From new ways to reuse products you already have, to simple time savers, Brit Morin of Brit + Co, appeared on the TODAY Show to offer 7 clever tips and tricks for making things easier around the home.
1. Use spaghetti as a match:
This is such a great trick for getting to hard-to-reach candles. Just light the end of a dry spaghetti noodle and stick deep into your votive to light your wicks.
2. Store pasta in a Pringles can:
Speaking of pasta, here’s how to keep that spaghetti fresher longer: Store it in an old Pringles can! It happens to be the perfect length for your noodles, and you can even decorate the outside to look nice in your pantry or on countertops. These are great for holding other types of dry goods as well.
3. Use a comb to hammer nails:
I will fully admit to having hammered my fingers while trying to hammer a nail before. But now I know this trick! You can save your fingers from getting all busted up by using a comb to hold nails in place.
4. Use beeswax to waterproof canvas shoes:
