Love watching you Liz. I have a tip for you. When you are painting, pick up a couple of paint stirers at the paint store. Dip the stick in the paint, to cover about 6". On the side with no writing, write the brand of paint, the name and the number of the paint. If the company discontinues the paint, they have machines now that can reproduce the paint from a chip. This is much better. This is great if you have a lot of rooms with different color walls, or furniture. This has been a life saver for me.

Denture cleaners work for yellowed antique lace or crocheted items also.👍🏼

As soon as I open my paint I pour it in the gallon mayonnaise plastic container. Then I use the can to paint out of so it gets completely empty. You can easily use a paint stick in the mayonnaise jar. I also use plastic peanut butter containers for smaller portions of paint. I get a funnel from dollar tree and use it just to pour paint. I always label my paint jars and say what room in my house it was used for or where it was used. I don’t have any metal cans in my storage just plastic jars. Then you don’t have rust in your paint. Paint will last forever.

A tip for removing sticky label glue is to use eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball. An old school teacher’s trick! We used to use it to remove sticky stuff like craft glue etc from desks and other surfaces. Wipe over with a damp cloth afterwards. Thank you for your tips 🙏❤️ New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨

I have all my paint stored in mason jars with the name and # of paint as well as room it belongs to. It really works and saves expensive paint. I also read that when you start to do touch up paint to a wall use a small amount of the paint in a separate container and add a little water. And feather out edges. This makes it match wall better.

We used that bread bag hack growing up! It works and keeps the bread perfectly fresh unless your family doesn’t go through much bread at all. My hands are super weak and tricky these days (long story but suffice it to say we all need to take care of our livers and research EVERY prescription a doc gives us!), so I use the OXO Good Grips bag cinch thingies on bags now. I even transfer some zip-bag-packaged items into bags with free edges so I can use the cinchers because my hands can’t handle most zip seal bags anymore. I love the cinchers and give them as gifts. Liz, you can use a big drill bit or even a small hole saw depending on the size of your tree’s trunk to put a perfect hole in the center of the mossy foam. You can also patch the white spots with a little pack of moss from a hobby store. My son has some of the packets of loose moss for his dioramas and trainscapes. It seems expensive for one packet ($6 or more for like a gram or something😳) but one packet lasts a bajillion years for patching in floral arrangements and the like. Make sure you get the one that you don’t use with the static machine (the name escapes me ATM). I use mason jars for paint storage. I use the metal lid inside a plastic mason cap. The inner metal lid with gasket seals it airtight and the plastic cap doesn’t rust like the old fashioned rings. Before I use water, I try a hair dryer on a label because water usually makes everything messier when removing the labels. I warm up a corner and get to peeling, applying more heat as I go. Any residue can be cleaned up with either lemon essential oil or acetone. That denture tablet trick can work on some toilet rings, as well. It may take more than one tablet at a time. A lot of old wood bowls at thrift stores have icky stain or varnish on them but a quick application of citrus based solvent will remove that. Alternatively, super fine steel wool and denatured alcohol (Walmart sells both) will strip it back to a beautiful wood tone in just a few minutes. Wear gloves, protect your workspace, and work in a well-ventilated area. Very good tips and a lot of inspiration! 😘

Liz you can remove labels: I saw this on KZfaq: fill jar with hot water let sit, remove which ones you can. If there is any leftover make a paste of hot water and baking soda and it takes it right off. Baking soda you always have around. Also dental cleaner in water is good for retainers and mouth guards. This was a tip from dental office.

Hi lovely. From the UK. With the hanger I just used the same hanger. Put the bottom of dress through the lower bit of the hanger. It works. And given me so much more room in my small one cupboard wardrobe😊

Great hacks Liz! Lots of new ideas to try. As a nurse who always carries tape in my pocket for bandages & other things, I learned years ago to simply fold under the end to make a little tab to grab.... works great & no paper clip needed. I do it on those sticky lint remover rollers, too. Just fold up over a small part of the end to also make a tab you can grab easily when you're ready to pull off the next layer.

I love the OJ container/ watering jug, and I love the dress hanging hack. My mom always hung her dresses the same way, so I've always done the same. No wrinkles, or long hanging dress awkwardly hanging in the way of storage space at the bottom.

WD 40 will also work to remove the sticky off labels. I do it all the time. Love your videos!!!!

We found that a creamer bottle is the perfect size for transferring water into the Keuric coffee maker. No need to remove the water reservoir. It’s also good for those who have dexterity issues. That reservoir has little tabs that could have easily snapped three years ago.

I put a denture cleaner tablet in the toilet tank. It cleans the tank and the holes where the water comes out. We have hard water & this really helps!

Regardless how nice the seal PLEASE put a piece of saran on top be for you turn the top closing it. It will keep paint from drying on the rim and making reopening a jar a hot mess. Been there done it.

Excellent hacks. Tfs❤️! I love using the loaf of bread hack. I used to think that my mom was being so old fashioned & too cheap when she was reusing containers. Now, after spending far too much money on unnecessary containers, I enjoy coming up with ways to reuse my containers.

Great tips! Glad to hear we can make lemons last longer. I'll use this tip with our limes, and see if it works. To get the stickiness out of labels use eucalyptus essential oil and a cotton bud. But I use any essential oil and they work too.

You should keep the lamp how it is. Very cute! I love the two tone look of it. The salt is an awesome hack! And I love the lentil and quinoa hack! That's fabulous! I would've never thought to use dry beans. It reminds me of when I was a little girl in the 80's, my mom had a picture that was like a shadow box and it had compartments of random beans in it. Love all your hacks! Good job!

The denture tablets are also great for removing the stains from drink mixes in the 2-quart slim refrigerator dispensers. Getting down inside the container or into the hollowed-out handle is impossible. The paper clip on the tape is one I have used for years. I don't fight it over the tape, I simply press the paper clip onto the sticky side of the tape and then press it against the rest of the roll. To remove labels from plastic or glass jars more easily, fill the jar with hot water. Wait until the glue softens and the paper label lifts off in one piece.

Great collaboration of hacks you've shared past and present. The scented oil on a cotton ball placed in your trash can is a good one. The terracotta pots and green planter turned out great. I would paint the lamp black. The tan color is a shade off where it's styled. 2x hacks to add: place the heat of a blower to the jar labels and it comes right off. Also candle jars, you can recycle them by putting it in the freezer. Once the remaining wax hardens it will come right off ♻️ 👍🏼

If you use the scented oil cotton ball hack in your vacuum tank...you'll eminate the scent thru your home as you vacuum

I’ve been using denture cleaner in my toilet for years. I don’t have to do it too often but every once a while it works really good for cleaning the toilet

Hey Luz, saranwrap, waxed paper, and, brown wrap paper all have the tabs on the side of the box also, and works the same way as the aluminum foil.

Love the hack you showed. I also have the tray on my stove and it is a great way to store your spices , timer or anything little. I love the Parmesan lid hack. The chop sticks is a good idea for the nails. Keep up the good work at sharing ❤️.

Liz, about the wisk in the flour, I learned from a professional baker to stir the flour before you measure it out. Apparently it makes a big difference in baked goods.

Good old Australian method to remove sticky label residue…. Eucalyptus oil Works a treat!

I like the lamp but I would change it to black 👍😉💛

I was so happy you told about the aluminum foil! I love it now! I never knew about it. I hated using foil because it was always a pain to use.I love it and will use it all the time now!! Thank you, Diana

I liked the jar with the added layer of rice to cover the stems. Looks much better - one reason I don't like fake flowers is they look fake, but this helps cover that up!

I use my heat gun to remove labels and stickers. It's also great for removing mailing labels and packing tape from cardboard boxes. Then when using them to mail items or to repurpose them for storage or organization, I'm not fighting with old sticky tapes and strings that are sometimes imbedded in companies' shipping tapes.

Lemon oil works great to remove the sticky residue from jars, and you don't have to worry about your nails.

I always use denture cleaning tabs for my vases, my toothbrush holder and any vessel that has a small opening or has hard water build up. I've even dropped a couple into my toilet bowl.

Thank you for such great ideas! I didn't know you can paint over porcelain and it would stick. So many ideas and hints. You are awesome!

I knew about the bread bag and I have a hack you get a pitcher clear one you put rice inside and put your kitchen knives inside it looks nice and it sharpens your knives too.I know the tape hack too They were all excellent hacks

I'm going to show that bread hack to my son! He always leaves the bag open. Thanks for sharing. Glad I found your channel!

Yes, I did know about the foil box. That feature is also on other boxes for plastic wrap, parchment paper, wax paper, etc. @18:33, if you don't have a cap with holes, you can criss cross scotch tape to create your own holes with any vase to achieve the same results. This idea is especially useful when you don't really have enough of your arrangement, it just spreads it out better. @25:00, I just fold the end of the tape. It's especially good for the clear tape that's difficult to see the end. My favorite hacks in this video is framing fabric as decor, gluing the magnet at the base of the hammer, framing the QR Code, storing lemons in water with a wired-tight lid, and placing an essential oil soaked cotton ball for household trash cans. Thank you!!

Denture cleaners for Reusable water bottles that are hard to get a tool into to clean….

I had a gentleman that poured custom candles for me. He told me that he discovered that eucalyptus repelled spiders.. I don't mind spiders but for those that do...bonus!!

I love framing calendar pictures. Add a mat to look high class.

Love it, the Parmesan container❣️

I bet that hand sanitizer would work on removing the stickiness from the jar. I use it when sap gets on my car windows...nothing works better.

Yes dear I’ve known about the tabs at the end of the aluminum boxes seems like all my life. If you look you will find that there are tabs at the end of the boxes for plastic wrap, wax paper, parchment paper…once in awhile I find a brand that doesn’t have them but those I just don’t buy a second time! Having fun watching this video!!! Thank you for sharing your gifts!

Liz, you are amazing. I love your ideas and how you have simple solutions for everything!!!

Lots and lots of genius hacks. Love the chopsticks to hold nails when hanging a picture. My husband is an engineer, which means he measures everything. Aarrgghh! So, anything like hanging pictures happens when he's at the office. My fingers appreciate the chopstick idea.And those holes in the foil boxes!! Who knew?!? Telling all my friends about that asap. :) I think removing labels with nail polish remover works best if there is acetone in the remover. Not good to use on delicate fingernails, but the right solvent for melting away sticky stuff.

21:50 I love the idea of lentils & quinoa with the florals 🥰 so great!!

Hi. I knew the bread hack and aluminum foil. Use needle nose players for hammering a nail in wall. I think masking tape works for drilling nail.

Search youtube for how to close a bag of chips by folding it.... it works great, we have even thrown them across the room and they stay closed. We seen it years ago on a Japanese hacks video. Love the tip for lemons. I rarely shop so stopped buying them.. Now I have to try this.

Speaking of what you’re wearing, I have bought so many kimonos from Amazon. They are so cute and breezy. Perfect over tank top for older women.

I love the chopstick hack, great way to save your fingers!

Genius on bread wrapping! W/ Paint to Jar, PAINT the LID the COLOR then add name & info 👍...so much prettier💙💙💙

Great 👍 👌 I love reusing things. I especially liked and will use the watering plastic bottle idea. I house sit and that's the ideal and light watering utensil to use going to several floors to take care of plants! Thanks for all these great hacks. Just found you tonight.

didn't know about the aluminum foil hack...thank you!

Cute shelf above the stove! Thanks for that. Maybe you could use the toothbrush holder in a larger, deeper pot using earthquake putty for more stability. For even larger arrangements, use 2-3 holders! Great ideas!!

Really great hack ideas! Love the flour idea with the whisk. And the fabric in the frame.

Liz I wanted to let you know I just wet to GoodWill I found a Brown Lg. rattan tray I don;t normally do crafts but you have inspired me. I'm going to spray paint and style it with my favorite decorations. I also went to the dollar tree and I found these plastic turtle trays.I have some wooden beads I'm going to make feet for it. They had clear plastic boxes withe a single drawers.I bought 3 of then I'm going to put feet on the the bottom and one on top. I;m going to e moving in the next couple months and am excited to re decorate my new Home. Thanks Liz Jody....

Instead of a drill to make holes for your watering can, you can use your hot glue gun. Once it's hot it'll melt holes in the plastic lids.

I knew about the foil hack when I was a teenager I’m 60 now I thought everyone did this LoL wow I was ahead of the times love the plant hack a lot of these hacks I was doing when I was very young

Love the pot for olive tree

I use denture cleaner to clean the water in the back of the toilet. Itt makes it white and smells nice too. Every time you flush you get a bonus bowl cleaning. Love your show. I also drop a drop on the inside cardboard of a toilet paper roll.

I'm loving the beans and rice for the base of the fake plants:) I'm gonna have to invest in some denture cleaner too. Someone on here mentioned that they work great on yellowed doilies. We have a natural wood fireplace, and the mantle scarves get nasty and I've tried literally everything to get them clean. I'll let ya'll know if the denture cleaner works on them:)

Genius and so simple. Which makes it more genius.

I learned this little trick about 15 or 20 years ago from my mother-in-law and wondered why Reynolds Wrap hadn't advertised this helpful feature more!

Omgeeeeee I love everything in this video!!! Totally saving this and sharing!!!

Creamy peanut butter is great for removing the sticky residue off of anything. It is also great for taking tar off of cars just below the doors and will not damage the paint.

Finally a hack I might actually use - the double hanger for keeping long shirts/dresses from reaching the lower tier.

To remove labels off glass jars I spray WD40 on the label and let it set for over 1hr or overnight and then I peel the label off and remove the residue with a cloth.

I’ve been doing the adhesive on a jar hack for probably 30 years. But also works now that I’m into essential oils as I use my young living orange or even lemon oil and it takes it right off as well

Keep the lamp tan. Great job Liz!

Love watching you, all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 Another way to get rid of sticky residue from labels is either DD Eucalyptus oil or WD 40.

These are all practical hacks. Some things are familiar but most of them are new. Must try indeed. 🙌🙌

I use petroleum jelly to break down old stickies, I rub it on the label let it sit and sometimes a straight edge or putty knife will help scrape it off, or a scrounge, and rub some dawn on that after, and wash in warm water or even witch hazel or Windex to break up the petroleum jelly residue.

Lemon EO or peanut butter are both great natural ways to get labels off. Just put it on and let it soak in. Peels right off!

Awesome hacks! I use lemon essential oil to take the sticky label goo off, it’s natural and works great!

Hi Liz. God bless you!

Leave it with the light color. Stone shades look great.

Love these hacks! Thank you so much. I love learning & this had many great ideas.

The bread hack, AWESOME!!

Very creative Liz. Thanks a lot.

I love berry yogurt bark - that’s a cool hack

Removing the glue residue behind labels. If you don’t mind chemicals, spray WD-40 and let it sit on a regular paper towel should takeoff most of it if not all very quickly but let it soak. Even better but a little bit more expensive is essential oils orange oil. So if you have that around or you don’t like to use the chemicals just put a couple drops of that on rub it all over the label area with your finger and let it soak and it also should wipe right off with paper towels

SOS pads works really well. To scrub off the residue off the jars once you’ve taken in the label’s off

that lamp is perfect the way u did it...leave it light colored.

You're vids are fabulous Hopefully I'm not alone.... Don't want to wake my roomate up. Anyway you can lower music volume between talking, Its Crazy loud. Have to keep changing volume.

I love, love, love all kinds of hacks! It's great that you combine household hacks and decor hacks in the same video. Thank you and please keep them coming. Maybe paint the base of the lamp black and add a black lampshade? Best Wishes!

I've always twisted my bread bag and pulled it down over the rest of the bread. That's really cool

Love the color on the lamp. Leave it as is!

I absolutely looooove the terricotta pots that you painted!! Sooo good!

Liz, baby oil will dissolve the glue of the labels on glass jars!

Hey Liz label removal hack for ya. Skip the nail polish Remover. Take your pickle jar, wine bote, whatever jar needs the label removed. Put the jar in your kitchen sink with the lid off. Boil water on your stove. Once the water boils, slowly pour it in to the jar in your sink being very careful of course. The boiling g water releases the labels usually in o e piece with little to no residue

Love, love, love, these hacks. Thank you, Liz.

I learned the foil hack a long time ago. I love your great tips.

Love plant hack

Orange essential oil is fantastic for getting labels and the sticky stuff off! Way easier than nail polish remover :)

try eucalyptus oil instead of acetone. works just as well and not so toxic. smells great in the house

I have a similar container that I recycled for watering my plants too. I dont own a drill so I just unscrew the cap and fill the container with water ! Works great !

Love the lemon saving hack, I buy organic and sometimes they dry up before I use them.

The hack about taking off labels, here's my hack. First wash it after soaking a bit. Use the steel wool. The sticky bit leftover, I put a thick coating of coconut oil over it, then wash again, steel wool used. That has always worked. Never had to wash a second time after coating with the coconut oil. And everyone should keep coconut oil around. You can cook with it. Use it to moisturize your skin. I put it on my cats head before i spray her with flea spray. Fleas flee from coconut oil, and it keeps me from having to spray her head. And you can use it as a healthy furniture polish. I have antiques and dont want the questionable chemicals from pledge. And i dont always have lemon oil around. Coconut oil is good for everything

It’s funny I think one of the very first things I ever saw on Pinterest was using a bread tie the plastic ones to put on the tape end.

Love the Chopsticks hack!

Love love 💕 your hacks! TY!

On the nail hack, you can also use a comb.
