A little tip for the DT solar lights--we bought 10 of these little gems for "tornado season". We put them in the yard to charge whenever we get storm warnings so when the power goes out we have some cool lighting. They dont get as hot as candles or oil lamps. With kiddos and pups running around safe is always best.

Instead of using a zip tie to attach the duster use a hair elastic. Works just as well and is reusable so you can swap out what's attached.

I use it to create a backdrop for photo's at birthday party. I take the rectangular plastic tablecloths (cheaper elsewhere) and cut vertical strips of 3 or so colors and then tie them on to the stick. Then you can add banners or other hanging garlands etc to it. Hang the pole up and you have a backdrop for your photos!

I want to share something that I just learned. Those magnetic water balloons are for kids 6+ because the mini magnets pop out easily and have been swallowed by a lot of kids lately since they are a viral toy. Just want to keep everyone safe. No judgement at all, I literally just learned this yesterday.

This has got to be the Academy Award Winner for USEFUL information! I am so impressed! I'm 80 damn years old and absolutely loved the video and the comments. Be sure to check out the other comments for more great ideas and hints! Lovely! Simply Lovely!!

You can also use them as an extension handle for paint rollers. They screw on perfectly!

If you painted the lamp post pool noodle white, it would blend in with the fence

I am so impressed with your broomstick tips. I bought a rolling laundry basket at Walmart to bring my groceries in the house out of my car. I can also use it too carry my laundry in and out of the house. It has saved me many steps. Be blessed. ❤❤

Wow we were all really good ideas I've been wanting to do a wall with succulents you just made it really easy thank you

My favourite time I’ve used a dollar tree broom stick, my daughter threw her banana in between two half tall bookshelves that were diagonal from each other creating a triangle hole. Used some duct tape and a fork on the broom stick and stabbed that banana…. I didn’t have to attempt to move the books or the shelves!!!

Another easy fix for the broomstick window treatment is to paint either tennis balls or ping pong balls and stick them on the ends.

SO COOL! Thank you! And now I need to go buy about 10 broom sticks! And a big thank you as well to all of the people commenting with more awesome ideas!! you all rock!

I always like that you talk fast!😊

Use a blow dryer on hot to loosen up the adhesive on the broomstick stickers. They'll peel off pretty easily then. There might be some adhesive residue left behind, but I find using a little olive oil on a paper towel does the trick to rub that right off. Could always use a little Goo Gone as well, but I don't like how that stuff smells.

I love how we can learn from each other's,after summer season I when to Dollar General I found some beautiful solar there where .45 they look like crystal I purchased them all every that look at my backyard there amazed

So many great ideas! I love the notion that "walls are basically vertical floors". Subscribed.

I love the idea of using the broomstick and hooks for the kids art work and for the kitchen for decor etc. or u could even do small toys for kids room with the baskets.

Just bought the parts for a broomstick and Command mop hooks for the curtain rod. The Command hooks were about $12 apiece at my local Lowe’s. So, about 25.50 for a removable curtain rod. Costs in the ballpark of what a Lowe’s 3/4” curtain rod costs, but you don’t have to deal with drilling holes and all that malarkey. Thanks SO MUCH!!

You can scrub the fence with the broom (like the shower) and then just a quick rinse with the hose. I feel like it wastes less water and gives you a workout! I did the front of a house and had like 10 men stop and mansplain that power washing would be faster and easier. 🤦‍♀️ The working time was actually pretty quick.

A long time ago I wanted to make black-out curtains for my bedroom. I didn't buy them for obvious reasons. So I went to Ikea and bought their white panels and dyed them pink to go in my room. For the long window, a curtain rod would have been very expensive so I bought a long PVC pipe and spray painted. Then I took 2 round light bulbs from my bathroom lights as I didn't need them on over the 2nd sink. Spray painted those and stuck them in the PVC as rod ends. They still stand in my bedroom. Though the curtains have faded and need to be re-dyed. A very similar idea.

Hardware stores sell black insulation that's essentially a pool noole. Way cheaper snd no need to spray paint. 😊

A lot of great ideas. I especially liked the curtain concept. Ingenuity is the mother of invention. You are her. Thank you for sharing your talent.

I love the temporary curtain rod idea, I need to put blackout curtains in my master bedroom to keep the heat out, this is great, thanks!

It occurred to me when you demonstrated hanging wire baskets on your broomstick that to protect your wall from scuffs and indentations from the weight of the baskets you could pin or glue a long piece of clear (or colored) plastic (or wood or metal) about 2-3 inches wide and placed where the bottom of the baskets hit the wall. You want the plastic to be wide enough to accommodate the vertical travel of the baskets as you fill and empty the baskets. Hope this is useful. Also, a QUESTION: Have you seen any dollar stores (or big box stores) offer affordable broomsticks in longer sizes? Most I've come across are only 54 inches (4.5 ft) in length, where in many cases, I would wish I could find 6-ft lengths. Thanks. Terrific video.

5:02 I’ve found WD-40 works well for getting sticky things off or you can set your hairdryer to high and run it back and forth over the label for 30 seconds to a minute to melt the glue. Also works for getting the labels off your prescription bottles before disposing of them.

Random tip this reminded me of… buy a new clean “bench brush” and keep it with your outdoor patio furniture. The furniture cushions when left on always get dusty…just whip out the brush and clean them off, easiest way to keep them sitt-able in the summer. Saves me all the time when company shows up. A bench brush has thick soft bristles meant for cleaning up sawdust and can be found really in expensively at Home Improvement stores. Not sure if Dollar Tree has them. ❤Love your videos always.❤

I think I'm going to use the curtain idea to create a screen set up for the projectors we've never used because we don't have anywhere to project, and I don't want to mount a screen (too much hassle right now!). Excited

OMG I need to use the mop holder curtain rod hack now!!! GENIUS I’m going to cover the end in some twine or fabric that I already have! Ty

This is the best DT diy video I've ever seen. I'm definitely going to try these hacks.

When you had it on the fence, it could be used also to be a support for climbing plants like flowering vines and beans. You could put strings on it to support the plants. There is guy on youtube that does "a trellis to make you jealous" and I have made one for the garden, but was thinking of getting the broomsticks to be the posts and then could have a cord or thin wire feeding through the eyes at the end of the stick.

A Rubber broom head to “rake” up pet hair! 🐾🐾

I use the handle with the cleaning cloth attachment and the white duster to wash the top of my SUV. The duster lathers up really well

Okay, the shower hack is a game changer 😻

Love the window curtain hack!!

Loved the idea of using it to clean your shower. I will definitely be doing that hack in my daughters bathroom. Also like the curtain idea too.

I love it. Practical re-use of available materials. I can think of a few other uses, but I particularly like the pool noodle lights. I don't want the light ON THE GROUND I need it higher up. The command hook hacks are awesome; just keep the weight under the 3 lb maximum. As we recycle every possible thing, (rural area) a recycling organizer is next on my agenda. Thank you for your ideas that we can run with.

They have antique brass and metal looking spray paint that would make the “curtain rod” look even nicer. I used that and the stone spray paint on those plastic drawers when I moved into my first apartment years ago to make them look a bit nicer.

My fav is the curtain idea, and I'm going to implement it TODAY. So many genius ideas in this video. Thanks.

Clever use of the wire baskets. I used them on the front of my kids bicycles.

Vertical is up and down, horizontal is like the horizon line.

Catherine on Do It On A Dime showed the brush for the shower & your bathtub .. brilliant! Love me some #DTHacks

When i worked in a clothing store to clean the huge windows i would attach paper towel to the swiffer and wipe the window after spraying them. I usually did it when my manager wasn't around and she was baffled the first time she saw me but thought it was clever, especially as she was very pregnant at the time 😂

On a cruise ship I saw a man cleaning the baseboards with a 4" paintbrush duct taped to the end of the mop holder. It works really well.

Awesome ideas!! You just gave me so many ideas on how to use these in my classroom!!

I have a curtain rod in my laundry room that I (just this morning) wondered what I do with it. It’s a nice one and I’ll be able to hang clothes straight out of the dryer to put on hangers. I’ve been using hooks on a decorative piece until I can hang them… so, thanks so much!!

Sharpies suck to cover up the sticker. I use black electrical tape. I also use the broomsticks to make my solar lights taller.

Thank you for the shower/bath cleaning brush. It has saved my back, shoulders, and neck. :)

Great ideas! Particularly liked the solar light on the pole.

The command mop holder clips are the info I needed. I have 2 Leoma Lovegrove towels - so gorgous they look like fabric wall art. So I have turned them over just a little on top and bottom with iron fabric stitching stuff and put a nice 6' rod from Home Depot garden center - and hang them - gorgous truly. But every few months they fall down - the no holes in the wall things I use literally pop off.

Thank you for some ideas to consider.

I use the broom stick as a chalk extender to do street art/chalk art. I also use it as a paintbrush extender for anyone in a wheelchair or a person who can't bend down

I love your Broomstick curtain rod idea. !! Great idea. Love those tips.

oh my, just what i needed! this is amazing, wanted to find some option to get a drying rack for the balcony in my small space without buying a huge one, this rod + door hook hack is gonna be amazing, also hanging plants in those for sure

Never have I ever thought of this. I do use a wooden stick to hang the curly ribbon for wrapping presents and for wrapping paper.

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for all the great tips. Love your ideas and love your sense of humor!

These are brilliant. The broom with with attachment also works for removing snow on the car.

The way you configured the broomstick to clean the ceiling can be used for baseboards too!

Awesome tips! I need to use the tile and shower cleaning tips. The duster one looks very helpful.

I really liked the idea of the renter-friendly & economical window treatment, so I tried it and ended up over complicating it and paying more than expected... still liked the results. The issue was the window in my living room is really long and big and two broom sticks were too small and would have looked awkward as one long rod and I couldn't justify buying another broom for just less than 10 inches. I couldn't find the Command broom holder, so I used the Command heavy duty hook instead, which works well. I ended up getting a total of 4 of these hooks and a set of 2 curtains for each side of the window. So, in all, it set me back $45, which isn't much cheaper than a standard setup. In retrospect, I could have gotten 2 of the Command hooks & a standard rod from the store and it would have been the same price. Oh well. As i said, the result is decent.. I wish I could attach a picture. You can't tell they are dollar tree broom sticks!

You don't need a zip tie there's an attachment for the flat mophead that is similar to velcro and it sticks to the fluffy dust rag and any cloth really even microfiber cloths too. I used this set when I had my cleaning business because everything could fit in one big bucket in the backseat

Oh I love these tools too. I have a couple of sticks and all four of the garden tools. I'm still working on my cleaning heads but just bought the square broom head and saw a ceiling fan cleaning tool there also. And a round duster head. They are coming out with more all the time. I love the light on a stick idea. Thanks.

I love all of these! Thank you so much for sharing! I will be using almost all of these!

Ok, now I'm being snarky. You keep saying, "Use the rod vertically." Ahem... it is "horizontally". Okay, now I'm eating dinner, and I got rid of the hangries... I'm now my sweet self again. We love you, girl! 😂❤❤❤❤

Dawn Powerwash removes stickers and labels really well.

Hi, Im not a huge fan of grapevines, but LOVE all of yours ! Thanks for sharing your talents & time!❤

Wow..ideas I would never have thought of. I was fussing because they started selling the pieces individually. Like really DT??? But now, you've eased my troubled heart. Thankyou so much for sharing these!! New subbie!!🥰

Heat removes the stickers without leaving a sticky residue behind.

❤ thank you! I did the basket hack in my kitchen.

GENIUS!! Love these hacks!!

Love them all - thanks!

Love the first idea for the shower, I hate bending over to clean the bathtub and shower.

Boy, you are full of great ideas! Thank you!

Thanks for the info in the video Kallie. There are some I have done and new things to try. I also wanted to tell you that your so beautiful without make-up.

Thank you for the tips!

We used a utility brush with a towel rubber banded to it at my highschool job. Its temporary, and allows you to still use the brush underneath and wash the towel when needed. Great hack.

WD 40 works for removing stickers. Also a blow dryer on high heat. 😊

Great ideas for the broom stock. Thanks for sharing.

Ohmigod, I'm so un-crafty but i like the look of the black baskets on the pole. Seems so easy!! I might try it. 🤔

Thanks, this was full of bits and pieces of things I need to know. Janice

The hack with the mop clips is genius. I have regular command hooks holding all my curtain rods up because the walls won’t hold nails. The rods are all just barely balancing, the clamps would be so much better

I have a brand new tiny home and I love it so much… except there’s nowhere to hang towels in bathroom… so thanks for the ‘over the door hook’ hack… I’ll be using it to hang a broom handle over my shower screen!! Problem solved!! Thank you so much!! Much love from Brisbane, Australia. ♥️♥️🇦🇺

Some great tips here! Thank you 🙏🏻 😊

Great video. Wish I had room for many of your ideas, but I do have a handle and a couple of the different pads and they are used often.

I filled the handle with sand and use it to keep curtains from blowing around from the wind. I just stick it in the little loop that’s at the bottom of the curtain.

Finials can be used for curtain rod ends

Oh I just bought the Dollar Tree dupe for the Command Mop holders 🥺. I was wondering about the adhesive. Darn it . But all those hacks are pretty cool

Omg ❤ the idea for hanging kid paintings, as well as the wire plant baskets! I’ve got vinyl fencing in my backyard, and I couldn’t think of a way to use that vertical space since it’s not wood that I could simply drill into. Now I’m thinking I might be able to make a little vertical garden after all! Thank you for sharing all your great ideas!

Brilliant! Thanks!’

To get stickers off; Spray on some Goo Gone and let it sit. If the sticker doesn’t come off easily, then use a heat gun ( Aim directly at the sticker. A few seconds should do the trick.

THE LAST ONE WAS GREAT!!

That last tip about solar lights was pure genius.

Use lemon grass essential oil on the sticker and it comes right off!

Use a hair dryer for the sticker, it comes off so easy 😊

I am disabled and my mom actually came up with these years ago for the very reasons Lovely here talked about. My Swiffer and these broom handles are my life savers.

Thank you ❤ Enjoy your Channel

Another great video of fantastic ideas!

Great idea for cleaning ceilings and the walls.

Kallie, love your realness and quirks. Loved the "curtain rod" idea! While watching your Jedi moves MY light bulb flickered! 💡 Why not go a tad further and make the look cuter by getting a couple of the long scarves or those round cowls $tree sells by making them look like curtain swags. You'll have to do some manipulating, ie; cutting, gluing or sewing them together but I really think this would fancy it up. I'm going to do that myself I think! 😊😉💜

I love the broomsticks on the solas and I can make them all thank you I'm glad I watched you
