Pinterest Trend of the Week: Simple Solutions

Jun 8, 2012 - 10:24 AM

1. Fold a fitted sheet with ease.

With the sheet inside out, place one hand in each of two adjacent corners. Bring your right hand to your left, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left, so the corner on top is right side out. Next, reach down and pick up the corner that is adjacent to the one that was in your right hand (it will be hanging in front), and fold it over the other two; this third corner will be inside out. Bring the last corner up, and fold it over the others so it is right side out. Lay the sheet flat, and straighten it into the shape shown above. Fold the two edges in, folding the edge with elastic in first, so all elastic is hidden. Fold the strip into a smaller rectangle. Continue folding until rectangle is the size you want.

2. Freeze aloe vera for sunburn relief.

After a long day out on the Bay, dispense Aloe Vera into an ice cube tray and freeze for cool, instant sunburn relief.

3. Find lost items.

To find small objects, place a pair of pantyhose over the head of a vacuum cleaner and secure with a rubber band. Scour hard-to-reach surfaces to pick up tiny items without getting sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

4. Organize pesky office supplies.

Never lose a paperclip or rubber band again. Repurpose a spice rack to keep awkward-shaped office supplies organized and easily accessible.

5. Minimize spice cabinet clutter.

Tired of messy cabinets stuffed with mismatched spice containers? Take old baby food jars and put them to good use. Wash the jars thoroughly, then apply a strong adhesive magnet to the back. Decorate as you wish, and voila!
