10 Great Ideas 

A muffin pan becomes a craft caddy. Magnets
hold the plastic cups down to make them
tip-resistant.

My mom sent me an email with several images of useful and great ideas so I thought I would share some of them with you.  My favorite idea is using a muffin pan as a craft caddy and I know Ariyana would love her play table to be organized like this.

Rubbing a walnut over scratches in your furniture will disguise dings and scrapes.  

Overhaul your linen cupboard, store bed linen sets
inside one of their own pillow cases and there will
be no more hunting through piles for a match.

Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone and iPod a bowl. The concave shape amplifies the music.

Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones, so much more fun and easier for kids to eat.


Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty
soles rubbing on your clothes. And you can
find them in just about every hotel.

Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags.

Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls
against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the
floor.

Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting crosses into a box lid.

Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper
bag. Much healthier and cheaper than the packet
stuff.

Ha ha. Got the same email and tried the king sheet sets. Not so efficient. A little challenging since it's a much larger pillowcase. Am going to try it another way. Will keep you posted !

At my Mom's house I put all the wrapping paper in old hosiery and up above the door in the hallway closet, and it works like a charm in keeping it all together.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
