Tuna Cans for Junk Drawer

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but if you are - it's time to organize your junk drawers!

Thanks, HGTV!

Shower Caps for Storing Shoes

What a great idea! Perfect for travelling or storing shoes (especially when shower caps are free at Hotels!)

I've seen a multi-pack of shower caps at the DollarTree as well.

Old Juice Carton to Create a Giant Block of Ice!

Why not clean out an old juice box and use it to create a giant block of ice? You can use this for ice carving projects or in coolers for summer picnics!

I wonder if I can create the perfect Jello square in this. Hmmmm.... :)

Screen Earring Display

I created a much lazier version of this screen earring display, but you are welcome to do it the way it's described.

I took an old frame from the dollar store, removed the glass, and stapled the screen to the back with a regular stapler :)

If you don't have a screen, I would imagine you can also use those bags that oranges or onions come in. Anything with little holes should do! :)

Repurpose Old Shower Curtains!

Before you toss the old shower curtain, why don't you try washing it in the washing machine?

Also, you can re-use it for picnics or as a tablecloth on a picnic table (if it's not grimy!)

You can also save it for your next painting project - a free drop cloth!

Powdered Sugar in Parmesan Cheese Container!

This blogger uses it for baking soda. I love the idea of putting bulk powdered sugar into an old, cleaned out parmesan cheese container. It would be so easy to sprinkle!
