Decorating Solution #1

Here's a great tip for decorating...

Take: an old washing up bowl or plastic box,
a bit of pipe insulation (if you're anything like us, there's always some lurking about in the tool box!)
and a bit of duct tape, 

And create this marvellous contraption! 
All you need to do is make a slit along the length on one side of your pipe insulation, hook it over the edge of your washing up bowl or plastic box and tape in place. 
Once you've taped it in place make cuts on the inside edge, being careful if you're using a stanley knife. 
And there you have it - a handy paintbrush holder! 

You can either fill the box with the paint you're using or just some warm water for cleaning.
A great solution for dripping paint brushes and filler spatulas.

Filling Nail Holes

  Here is a great tip for filling nail holes. Just take a bar of soap and rub over the hole until the soap fills the cavity. This is great for anyone renting, especially for white painted walls. It's an easy way to get your deposit/ bond back!

Travelling Make-up.

  Here's a handy tip for transporting small amounts of make-up. Take an un-used / clean contact lenses case and put small amounts of make-up in each side! 
-Foundation, 
chapstick, 
powder, 
face cream, 
lipgloss etc. 

The possibilities are endless!! You are now free to just pop it in your handbag or to put it neatly. In with the rest of your packing if you're taking a trip.



Children's Bibs Storage.

  Ever wondered where to store your childs bibs so they are close by for meal times? Well here's a handy solution. Just take a self adhesive hook, (usually found in pound stores, hardware stores and most good supermarkets for under £2 for a multipack), attach the hook to the back of your childs high chair and VoilĂ ! Easy access within arms reach and it frees up other storage places.
