Wondrous Wax

It’s not the most well-used item in your pantry, but there’s usually a lonely box of wax paper somewhere. Here are a few great uses:

1. Run a small piece of wax paper through your can opener to clean the gears. It’s the item you never realized needed greasing!
2. Rub your stainless-steel faucets with a bit of wax paper to remove the fingerprints and water stains.
3. Slide a piece of wax paper over the teeth of a stuck zipper to free it.

DIY Dollar Vases

Looking for a fun activity for winter vacation? Pick up some cheap vases and different types of paint, spray paint, even nail polish. There are spray paints that create a pebbly texture when sprayed, which is great for the organic look that’s trending now. You can choose to stay classic or go funky. However you color them, if you create multiples vases in a similar style, the collection can look striking when filled with flowers and placed in a line down your table.

Under-Sink Order

I recently tackled the chaos in the cabinets under my bathroom sink. I searched Target for some good organizer options, and I found one with three drawers that’s proving to be a sustainable option. I like to have a good number of compartments to be able to sort small things like creams and health-care products.

For under kitchen sinks, where you keep tall cleaning products, this trim organizer is a popular option: PUILUO Under Sliding Cabinet Basket Organizer, $21 on Amazon

Those organizers and containers can add up fast. If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative, try hanging a suspension rod under your sink. Then, hang all your spray bottles on the rod from the nozzle. Place it as high as possible so you can store small containers, boxes, or flat cleaning supplies underneath.
