This is one of the better videos I've seen on this topic. I won't mention specific sites/pages, but I think most of us have rolled our eyes at some point watching "hacks" that end up costing more, being worse for the environment, or just plain don't work. So thank you for being a breath of fresh air with some really cute and functional ideas! Great ideas, and I like your friendly and down to earth presentation of them. 😊👍
I keep a small tissue box on my dryer for used dryer sheets that I use to clean out the lint trap. Ice cube trays are perfect for mixing different colors of paint for your kids to use.
I love your ideas and it's great to see people re-using and re-purposing instead of filling up recycling bins. You're setting a great example for your kids. I re-use almost all the plastic that produce comes in at the market as organizers.
Another binder clip use - clip all your bills together, then hang the open wire part on a push pin on your bulletin board. Unclip the bills as you pay them (I transfer mine to a spike holder [long stainless nail through the center of an old round wooden coaster]) and you know at a glance what you need to pay. Also, those _cardboard_ (not foam) egg cartons can be cut up into individual cups, and after cutting an X in the bottom of each one, you can start seeds in them! Use an old plastic plate as a platform as they're sprouting (to catch the excess as you water them), and when they're about an inch tall, you can plant them, cup and all, in the ground (the cardboard will decompose). Another use for glass jars: There are things (like apple sauce or wet cat food) that are cheaper in cans, but it's not good to store them in the can once it's been opened. Transfer the remainder immediately to a spare glass jar, then wash and reuse/recycle the can. Speaking of cans...flat tuna cans can help you measure how much watering you are doing! Just scatter them around your yard or garden, turn on the sprinkler, and watch as the cans fill up. A full tuna can indicates you have watered one inch, which is an ample drink for dry ground (one inch of water will sink into the earth about a foot). Sorry for going all Heloise on you, but since you gave me some good ideas, I thought I'd return the favor.
Glass jars are also excellent for display purposes. Instead of having all our seashells just collecting dust on the windowsill, I've put them in a glass jar. Instead of hiding my tiny balls of leftover yarn in a box somewhere, I've arranged them in a gradient in the tallest glass jar ever. My aunt put all her spare buttons in a glass jar which not only looks cute but is also great for finding the right colour when you need it. Oh and speaking of those buttons, they're great as eyes for crochet creatures! :)
I love your ideas and your enthusiasm. And contact paper! I don't know what I would do without it! For what it's worth, here are some more ideas for repurposing things. Cutlery trays are useful in desks for stationery supplies. Frames are good for command stations in tight places. Those IKEA plastic bag holders that come folded are good for storing gift wrap without taking up much space. Their folded garbage containers (with the holes) are good for holding vacuum cleaner parts. I also use a magazine rack to store the bags for our trash compactor. Both these holders have lasted for years. Cut the tops of storage bag boxes, glue together, and wrap with contact paper. It looks nicer and it's easier to get the bags. I always save the mesh pouches our dental hygienist gives us after a cleaning. They make great pencil cases, cosmetic pouches, travel organizers, and receipt holders. Finally, we don't have garbage collection where we live, so I take my garbage to the dump (saves me about $1,000 per year). The bonus is what I find there. I found two very dated wooden cabinets and several plastic drawer units that I use in my garage to store things - grill accessories, automotive supplies, bike accessories, etc. I even hauled the bottom of a baby crib that was like a peg board and hung the bike helmets over the bikes! I saved $$$!
I like your ideas! I'd like to add to your cereal box one. The liners inside are thick and much nicer wax paper than comes on the rolls. I cut them open and use when I am rolling out cookies or pies, making meatballs etc. I also use them in my craft room whenever I am gluing and painting. I also cut the top half of the bag off and they easily stay open to divide up hamburger or add garden veggies for freezing.
I had a tissue box whose design and colors were perfect for my kitchen so I took it apart and flattened it out and made a photo of it for making 12 digital copies of it and cut and pasted them onto decorative cutting boards, plates, jars, tumblers etc... way easy and cool!
When I wanted a holiday design tissue box, I simply covered it with holiday wrapping paper. No need to buy one. Most of the time I use cloth hankies so box of paper tissues lasts a super long while. ( except if I have a real bad cold, then I go through Puffs fast)
What great ideas!! Evidently I'm not the only one who hesitates to throw away a cute tissue box that matches perfectly. I'm going to use that idea for sure!!
My favorite repurpose item not mentioned here is the plastic claw type hair holders. I use them to hold my kitchen towel in the oven door handle. My favorite use is to hold back curtains, like cloth tie-backs, but much less $$.
I have recently used the small ones to help hold a blouse on a hanger. I just clipped one on each shoulder of the blouse catching the hanger as well. Clipping a couple directly onto the outer edges of the top of a hanger is also a good way of keeping a tank top from sliding off of a hanger.
I love your creativity and resourcefulness! People pay $$ for storage items at The Container store etc but just repurposing what you already have does the job. Thank you for the inspiration!
This is BY FAR one of the best repurposing videos I’ve seen (and I’ve seen A LOT)!! Nothing fancy or using items that us regular folks never have on hand. 👏 👏 👏
For those who use the pod type soaps that come in large plastic bottles - they make great storage containers for small nonfood items (like craft supplies or small toys) I have also used one to protect my yarn while crocheting. I poked a hole in the lid big enough to thread my yarn through - then just drop the yarn into the container and thread yarn up through lid. I then don't have to worry about dropping my yarn or my pets playing with it. It stays clean and safe as I'm using it.
Love this! Thank you for all the cool ideas 🥰 another one I love is covering cardboard boxes to use as organisers in the linen closet to stop all the pillow cases and washcloths falling all over the place. I use medium size boxes, so diaper boxes from Walmart and some delivery boxes from Amazon. I get my contact paper from the dollar tree too! I recognise the print 😉✨ I use old glass jars in the pantry too! Love it
Love your ideas. I also use the clips for keeping the kitchen towel from falling off of the bar in the front of the stove where I hang it. I just hang the towel, and then I clip the front of the towel to the back. No more towels on the floor.
I do a lot of these already but got a few new ideas like the pt holder to bangle holder 😊 It is also is nice to see someone else reducing waste by repurposing. For tissue paper holder actually since tissues are expensive I put a toilet paper roll that I use only as tissues in the pretty box.
Wow, I love these ideas! You solved the sock drawer problem, the craft supply problem, and so many others. I will be busy making a bunch of these, thank you!
Hello from Australia! I just found your channel and I really like the idea of using file tray in your food cupboards...this is an idea I will keep in mind especially the next time I move as I will have to downsize.
"Helps you tap into your creativity." I like that. Very encouraging. I've watched, and enjoyed lots of repurpose videos, and have gotten some good ideas. A lot of the ideas you shared are new to me and I'm looking forward to giving them a try. I love repurposing, and your video will allow me to do even more repurposing. The magazine holder ideas... seem so obvious, yet I didn't even think of them. Using large tissue boxes for drawer storage... cool idea. The cereal box ideas... oh yea. I'm gonna have fun with that one. And the list goes on. 😀 Thanks for the great ideas.
Omg I love so much the movie night snack tray for the kids!!! I think even the big kids would dig this! I just love repurposing things and I have enjoyed your ideas for things i'd not thought of!
I love your ideas! I am a new subscriber. I love to repurpose things and have gotten some great ideas here! I like the pace and clearness of your speaking voice. Keep up the good work!
Great ideas! I use the binder clips and the Dollar Tree transparent shower curtains to cover my outdoor furniture from the elements in the summer. Works great to hold those curtains in place... to keep my kitchen towels from falling to the floor from the oven bar, I repurpose the wire ties that come with produce... i just tie up the corners together... i cut up the old 100% cotton tshirts into ties for my garden, they will biodegrade by the next year... best!
Great video! I love the idea of repurposing what we have instead of buying new stuff. I never thought of using a magazine holder for plastic lids and bottles, and I definitely have both that problem and a couple of those hanging around not being used, so I'm going to give that a try. Thanks. :)
Repurposing boxes and covering them with contact paper! Yes! I've been doing this, even before seeing this video. My favorite boxes are from cases of water that hold six one-gallon jugs. There's a sturdy divider wall through the middle. If you cut the box to half-height and reclose the upper half-box, you then have two divided trays.
I love your ideas. I'm very much like you-- I repurpose as much as I can. Another GREAT idea for cereal boxes is to use them to make picture frames. You can either cover them with nice wrapping paper, contact paper OR, if you want to be ambitious, get some batting (used for making quilts) and some pretty fabric and cover it in puffy fabric. These are pretty enough to give as gifts. Using a hot glue gun, it's really easy. Love your idea of using an old eyeglass case to store little things when you travel, too.
Love the binder clips for sweaters idea. I avoid open cardigans for that reason. Though I run into so many that I really like. Coupling them with colored binder clips sounds like a great idea.
I use a small hair clip to hold my open fleece vest closed. I use the tiny clips that come on orchid plants to clip my too long bangs out of my face. I've also used an earring to close a crochet vest.
Well done! We'd all be better off if we re-purposed instead of bought more. When my son was an infant, I had my husband cut paper towel roles in 1/2 and put them in an empty wipe canister and made my own baby wipes. Binder clips are the bomb!
In 1977 I covered a collection of boxes and knocked curtains with contact paper. They were oversize building blocks for my first nephew. In 2021, my first grand nephew played with them. Greatest thing ever.
Thanks for the great ideas. Some of them will actually work for me. I usually watch hacks (I hate that word. It sounds like what a cat does when hacking up a hairball) because you never know what you can pick up. I need to watch this again so I can write down the ideas. My room is small and pretty messy. It’s difficult to clean when you have health problems but I keep working at it. Your ideas are definitely going to make a difference! Thank you!!
Wonderful! I know what you mean about the word "hack". I used it on the thumbnail of my most recent video because people know what you mean when you say it, but the word is annoying to me too, lol.
I really love the idea of reusable tissue boxes, I know that it sounds so "xyz", until you find one that is so artistic or the colors and patterns or phrase is so uplifting that u don't want to part with it 😊 I don't know if anyone else has used mod podge before, they make a dishwasher safe gloss version orange pink and blue label. It's a water-based sealer, glue and finish. I've used it for all kinds of things, not necessarily to to put on the tissue box to make it more durable and to maintain the quality and appearance of the cardboard, but I think that would be a great idea. Your video inspired this trip to the store to give it a go, so thank you for sharing your beautiful and inspiring ideas they really make a difference!!
@@frugalcreativeliving lol full disclosure I actually ended up watching another one of your videos while "getting ready to go to the store " the one that you make natural house and body spray, and I actually had those ingredients which was serendipitous so I made that instead and it turned out fabulous thank you for the video I'm a visual learner so the step by step details and explanation for each thing was so helpful! Appreciate it
All great ideas here =D We just moved from a different state and haven't brought all of our belongings yet. I've been saving all of my odd boxes and jars and such to repurpose into storage and other uses. These are great motivation to get me started! Thank you!
Just subscribed, you're so creative and loved your presentation. Some of your ideas I have been doing for awhile. I'm frugal and a "save mother earth" older person so am always looking for new ideas.
I've always been the creative type but now even with prices on everything rising. Your useful tips is going to save me a ton of money. Great video. Subscribed!
I just found you a few moments ago on Simplify and was impressed by your video. Clicked on another video of yours on the embedded one (this one), and loved this one, too! Subscribed! I'm always looking for ways to repurpose things! Love your ideas! I was going to buy a shower curtain on Amazon that is clear and has pockets that holds items you want to keep try while in the shower. Thanks to this video, I'll be getting out a ziploc bag and pants hangar instead! Thank you! Another thing you can do with ice cube trays is freeze things like garlic butter sauce (or other sauces) and just throw one or two into your recipe. I would suggest using a lidded tray for the garlic butter sauce unless you want everything smelling like garlic in your freezer lol I also buy a lot of boxes of gloves, so always looking to see how I can reuse them instead of recycling them. I have a lot of markers and pens/pencils, and the boxes are the perfect sizes to fit them in. I keep the boxes in a drawer next to my desk (desk doesn't have drawers) and keeps them all organized and out of sight!
The sanitizer wipes container. I use it to hold the toilet bowl brush. I also use them, cut down, to start vegetable plants. Thank you for such an informative video.

Wow, thank you! 😄
@@frugalcreativelivingI agree you are a gem🌸
Awe, that's so sweet ❤
So glad to see someone repurposing items like I do. There is so much waste. We can all do this to help the planet and save money.
Absolutely!

Thanks for the inspiration! I have several empty shoeboxes that I can now repurpose to corral those washcloths. 🤗
Good ideas. Can also use full size tissues, usually cheaper, fold in half place in cube boxes
I've been doing that for years!
Love your ideas. I also use the clips for keeping the kitchen towel from falling off of the bar in the front of the stove where I hang it. I just hang the towel, and then I clip the front of the towel to the back. No more towels on the floor.

Great!

Wow… some really great ideas here. Thanks.
Great ideas! I use glass jars for leftovers. They take up less room than plastic containers.
Thats true!
And they don't absorb the smell of the foods, or stain!

@@frugalcreativeliving lol full disclosure I actually ended up watching another one of your videos while "getting ready to go to the store " the one that you make natural house and body spray, and I actually had those ingredients which was serendipitous so I made that instead and it turned out fabulous thank you for the video I'm a visual learner so the step by step details and explanation for each thing was so helpful! Appreciate it
Great! So glad it worked out!
I love how real your house AND your ideas are! I have used many of these for years, and they work!
Thank you!
All great ideas here =D
We just moved from a different state and haven't brought all of our belongings yet. I've been saving all of my odd boxes and jars and such to repurpose into storage and other uses. These are great motivation to get me started! Thank you!
I've used many of these tips for years and glad to know that others do, too.
Best ideas I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Some of these are ones I have never seen before. THANK YOU for your genius ideas!
You are absolutely welcome!
Just subscribed, you're so creative and loved your presentation. Some of your ideas I have been doing for awhile. I'm frugal and a "save mother earth" older person so am always looking for new ideas.
Thanks! We can save money while we save the earth!
Such neat ideas! I’m immediately using my old ice cube trays so THANK YOU 💙
Loved that refreshing glass of ice water. So cute 😁
Lol😁

Hanging shoe organizers are so great for so many thing.

My favorite is the diy lazy Susan, brilliant!
Great idea for cleaning wipes!
I just found you a few moments ago on Simplify and was impressed by your video. Clicked on another video of yours on the embedded one (this one), and loved this one, too! Subscribed! I'm always looking for ways to repurpose things! Love your ideas! I was going to buy a shower curtain on Amazon that is clear and has pockets that holds items you want to keep try while in the shower. Thanks to this video, I'll be getting out a ziploc bag and pants hangar instead! Thank you!
Another thing you can do with ice cube trays is freeze things like garlic butter sauce (or other sauces) and just throw one or two into your recipe. I would suggest using a lidded tray for the garlic butter sauce unless you want everything smelling like garlic in your freezer lol
I also buy a lot of boxes of gloves, so always looking to see how I can reuse them instead of recycling them. I have a lot of markers and pens/pencils, and the boxes are the perfect sizes to fit them in. I keep the boxes in a drawer next to my desk (desk doesn't have drawers) and keeps them all organized and out of sight!
Loved the plastic bag for phone/tablet in the shower-idea!! 😄 That was really new to me. Thank you.
OMG I am going to try the magazine holder one.
Love using things I have and not trashing or spending money!!!!! Thanks for all your ideas
You are so welcome!
The ice cube tray is genius! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Great ideas. Thank you, I need to start with arts and crafts stuff.🙏
The plastic ice cube trays are great for separating the parts that come with furniture you put together........
The sanitizer wipes container. I use it to hold the toilet bowl brush. I also use them, cut down, to start vegetable plants. Thank you for such an informative video.
Great idea!!
