I am a retired preschool teacher. Years and years ago, we would dye macaroni for all kinds of crafts. To color them, we used rubbing alcohol and food coloring. If coloring macaroni, just don't leave it in the alcohol too long! I have used this to color beads also. I have no idea why we used alcohol, but it is what I still used.
@Whiskeyandwhit I asked my fellow teachers, and it has to do with the drying time. Intense color without the pasta getting soggy. Alcohol evaporates faster than water.
Thank you for including the wrap bracelet idea and telling us where you find them! I have been looking for them in the stores around me but was looking in the school supply section for some reason! Now I need to go back and look in the party section. Fingers crossed I can find them because I love this idea so much!!!!
Oh wow!! So smart!! Thank you!! I have NO cupholders in my car & keep those cardboard carriers in the backseat for when I need to get a drink or more than one drink but they're not sturdy at all. Your idea 💡 is Brilliant!! Thank you!
I love that you have the products link on the screen and you just click on it and it brings up the product and the price. Very very convenient and definitely keeps me coming back to your channel.
So glad! That’s a new UA-cam feature, I also have everything linked in the description because not every brand is supported with the in video shipping as an fyi ♥️
I think this is the best “hack” video I’ve ever watched; hacks I can actually use. Today is my first day on your channel, I stumbled on it when watching someone else’s. I’ll be back! Thank you!
Those clear Barbie cases are great for organizing the contents of the console and glove box in your car. I made a first aid kit with one; chapstick lotion & sunblock in another; small pad of paper, pens, clips a safety pins in yet another. Napkins, extra straws and wet wipes for on the go meals from the drive through. They slip right into the door pockets of the car as well.
Congratulations on your pregnancy 🎉 Pray you have a great and blessed pregnancy. Oh my, what great💡 ideas. Thanks for letting us know about the storage boxes
I love it when you show the different fabrics .I'm thinking and probably will start collecting the baby blues,pinks bunny's deer and such I want to make my youngest 2 great grandbabys a baby quilt a piece..we just had my 4th great grandchild, she's a girl and I want to make her a quilt from soft dt fabric and my 7 month old great grandchild one too..something the mommy's can save after they've outgrown them and to know how much I loved them incase I'm gone before they are old enough to remember granny
Hey! I have big finger too! Those regular ones are too tight and uncomfortable for me. So I’m happy to see those other things work. And the slap bracelet idea is genius! Thanks, enjoyed the video my dear. ❤️💜💚
So nice to see a pic of you and your baby bump!! You are awesome!! I loved seeing your little helper Finn's hands helping you, so adorable!! I could never find the snap bracelets whenever I went to any of the local dollar tree, so I ordered a bunch from Amazon and they seriously are a game changer!! I have them on all my rolls of vinyl now and it's so much neater!! Thanks again for a jam packed video!! Looking forward to your next chocked filled video!! Stay well and "happy crafting" 👍♥
You look amazing! So excited for your new baby! I love the Barbie storage hack. I have quite a bit of sewing supplies and these work great for storing them. Thanks for such great ideas!
One trick I do when I’m doing xmas cards, is I have a photo box from Michael’s and everything I need to address labels, stickers, little wood ornaments for embellishments on the cards or on the gift is in there. This way it’s a bit bigger if you have those sticker books that are long and don’t fit in other containers. But seeing those plastic ones you have I may downsize lol
That’s a great idea! My white box was smaller than that and I kept struggling, but maybe u could use the photo box to house the bags? Thanks for the tip! ♥️
I’m so relieved to see this! 😅 I bought a bunch of that before finding out it doesn’t work well for its intended purpose, and have wondered what to do with it!
I love the vacuum seal bags. I'm a sewer and have been collecting fabric for 20 years. Being able to condense it all takes up so much less storage space.
Great hacks!!! I love the idea of using the snap bracelets on rolls of whatever. In my case I will use them for my stabilizer for my embroidery machine.
I use the dollar tree nail polish holder for weeding vinyl, it clips to your hand and works very well,. I also use the snap bracelets for vinyl and giftwrap. I like thei hack with the paint in the pump bottle and the mod podge with the tissue paper.
These are great ideas. I have looked for the slap bracelets everywhere but haven’t found any yet. My favorite is the silicone pot holder. I never thought about using it for paint and cleaning brushes. Thank you.
I would say the towels on the stove.Use the double-sided tape and stick it on the actual backside of the handle to the oven.And that way you don't have to stick it to the towel and waste it and take it off every time you have to wash your towel. I love the bathroom nightlight. Congrats on your pregnancy.
Yes! the Barbie bag- I just sewed 2 elastic strips along the inside sewing it about every 1.5” and turned it into an electronics cords holder. It works so perfect.
I really liked how you made the flower stems look so much better. The problem is the leaves! The pumpkins and fall leaves looked great! Many of the storage tips are helpful. And the ideas for plastic hangers!
lil tip for dried paint brushes, soak in a baggie with hand sanitizer over night and then rinse. game changer. i forgot to rinse my mod podge brush, works for mod podge too.
I love the pop-dot tape for hand towels and the felt pads to prevent scratches on walls and doors. I also like the guide lights is a great idea. I'm a clutz too! Pregnancy looks good on you! You're glowing! Congratulations!!🎉
Love those Snap lights. I'm going on to get them right away. I use night lights throughout the house now. I always struggle because they use an outlet. Game changer 😊
I went to the website link for the Snap lights. Such a bummer because they are sold out of the white regular outlet ones. Please (if you can) advertise them again when they get stock in. 😢
Hi, new subscriber here. 🙋🏼♀ I clicked on your video because of the thumbnail of the soak-off finger things and I was amazed at all the ideas you shared. 😍 I'm excited to try your ideas. I especially loved the flower arrangement ideas you shared. Congrats on your pregnancy. 🤰🏼 Prayers and Blessings from Carson City NV 🙏🏼🪻💜
goodness you gave so many good ideas. snap bracelets for vinyl, the bags must say it was all good. thank you and so excited for you for the little one coming
Greathacks, I love watching your hack videos, another thing you can use for weeding is a lint brush, once you weed just brush the scraps on a lint brush to get it off of your weeder
I am a new subscriber and love all your great ideas and dupes! So hard to pick a favorite. Tfs and congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your new little blessing! ❤
Thank you Whitney for sharing these great ideas. I purchased the dollar tree storage containers with the snap lids after watching ur video last year, these worked out great in my craft room!! Love the food coloring for the beads idea! Also the slap bracelet idea, and ribbon storage using hanger and rubber band!
Earlier this year, I took all my ribbons off their spools and used some cardboard bobbins I found on amazon. I got the largest so I could put a few skinny ribbons on 1 bobbin. I love using the doll containers. But there were many great ideas!!
I really do appreciate these tips and tricks... My girlfriend and I are going to do a road trip to a bigger and nicer Dollar tree.. I hope I find some these wonderful things... Especially this slap bracelets. What a genius idea!! 👍🤗😁💗
TFS Whitney you look amazing 😊 I am using the silicone pot holders with my glue gun. And I have lots of those school boxes that snap closed for small paints

Good idea Whitney.
Whitney that ribbon 🎀 hack is awesome.
That is neat about the slap bracelets.
Slap bracelets for wrapping paper!! BRILLIANT!!!! I literally gasped out loud watching that. LOL!!😄
Love it! 😍
I am a retired preschool teacher. Years and years ago, we would dye macaroni for all kinds of crafts. To color them, we used rubbing alcohol and food coloring. If coloring macaroni, just don't leave it in the alcohol too long! I have used this to color beads also. I have no idea why we used alcohol, but it is what I still used.
Good to know, it must help the color stick?
@Whiskeyandwhit I asked my fellow teachers, and it has to do with the drying time. Intense color without the pasta getting soggy. Alcohol evaporates faster than water.
My favorite hacks
1. Coloring wood beads
2. Silicone mat to clean your brushes
Thank you for sharing all your useful hacks
Yes, alcohol makes your dyed pasta/rice dry much faster.
Congrats on your pregnancy! So happy for you! You are simply glowing and so happy! Thank you for another informative video.
Thank you so much for watching and the well wishes! I’m finally feeling not so sick so I’m trying to get as much done as I can!
Thank you for including the wrap bracelet idea and telling us where you find them! I have been looking for them in the stores around me but was looking in the school supply section for some reason! Now I need to go back and look in the party section. Fingers crossed I can find them because I love this idea so much!!!!
Totally! Also if you can’t find them at DT, you can also grab them from Amazon: amzn.to/4dgMCAT
@@KCorrine That definitely was the best tip. Mind blown.
Look in the party supplies. I think they are party favors
Love the idea of taking leaves off stems and replacing them with fall b leaves. The floral arrangement is beautiful. Tfs. Good ideas. God Bless.
Thanks so much!
I use the square organizer with 4 slots for bringing home drinks or Dairy Queen. No more mess in my car!
Great idea!!
Oh wow!! So smart!! Thank you!! I have NO cupholders in my car & keep those cardboard carriers in the backseat for when I need to get a drink or more than one drink but they're not sturdy at all. Your idea 💡 is Brilliant!! Thank you!
The felt organizer things would make good separators for ornament boxes.
Totally!! 🌲
I love that you have the products link on the screen and you just click on it and it brings up the product and the price. Very very convenient and definitely keeps me coming back to your channel.
So glad! That’s a new UA-cam feature, I also have everything linked in the description because not every brand is supported with the in video shipping as an fyi ♥️
Omg I've been longing for some legitimate and relatable craft hacks! New subscriber because of this video! Thank you and I can't wait to watch more!
Yay! Thank you! And welcome!!
Gluing the marker tops to the container was definitely my favorite ❤️!!!
It helps so much!
The wrap bracelets, such a great idea. Your baby bump is precious. Take care and thank you for sharing your great ideas.

Always bringing tons of DT hacks and uses, etc.
Thank you Stacey!!
Wonderful! So happy to hear that!
Most of these I have seen before, but the slap bracelet hack is new to me!! Love it!
So glad! One of my favorites!
Great ideas! I like both the hacks for storing your ribbons. Btw... you look so beautiful with the baby glow.
Oh thank you! You are so sweet 🥰 finally starting to feel more like myself!
The hanger trick for ribbon is also great for garden flags!
Yes that’s a great idea too!
You always have so many amazing ideas!!!!!! Thanks for sharing them with us!!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!!
I absolutely loved the microfiber mitts on your feet!
Those clear Barbie cases are great for organizing the contents of the console and glove box in your car. I made a first aid kit with one; chapstick lotion & sunblock in another; small pad of paper, pens, clips a safety pins in yet another. Napkins, extra straws and wet wipes for on the go meals from the drive through. They slip right into the door pockets of the car as well.
That's a great idea!
Fantastic ribbon idea thank you
Thank you! 😊
Congrats on your pregnancy. I use the vacuum bags to send quilts across the country. It works great- the quilt stays clean and dry and it’s cheap too
Thank you! And that’s a great idea!!
Food colored wooden beads 😮❣️
Congratulations on your pregnancy 🎉 Pray you have a great and blessed pregnancy. Oh my, what great💡 ideas. Thanks for letting us know about the storage boxes
Thank you so much!!
I like the barbie bags for keeping my mail in check. Perfect size for business envelopes.
That's a great idea!

I ❤ the idea for the slap bracelets.
Loved the nite lights and snap bracelets.
Thank you Whitney. Finn is adorable !

I love the Barbie accessories bag!
Me too!! One of my favorite finds!
Suction cup thingy for discarding weeded vinyl and also the adhesive pads for blanket ladders etc. Great tips!
Yes! Thank you!

That's what I do. And I can move from room to room.
I like using the $ 🌳 vinyl for decorating cardboard boxes to reuse as a decorative box or even cover a shoe box w/ it for storage
That’s a great use!
I’m so relieved to see this! 😅 I bought a bunch of that before finding out it doesn’t work well for its intended purpose, and have wondered what to do with it!
My week is complete! School starts next week and you help wrap up my summer!!
Aw yay! So happy to hear that, good luck with the new school year :)
I like the pun...wrap up

Totally! I saw it the other day and had a lightbulb moment lol

Very great hacks. I love the hack for the ribbons and paper towel. Have a wonderful weekend.😀👍👍👍
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for that decoupage tip!

I use Murphy’s Oil for my forgotten paint brushes. I forget them for a long time and this has saved me so much money!!
Great tip! I’ll have to keep that in mind ♥️
Great job! Fabulous ideas! Right-On explanations 💜❤️🩷💛🧡Thank You!
You can place the silicone pads in the freezer to remove glue. I also use packing tape to remove the glue from those pads.
Great tip!
I use the dollar tree nail polish holder for weeding vinyl, it clips to your hand and works very well,. I also use the snap bracelets for vinyl and giftwrap. I like thei hack with the paint in the pump bottle and the mod podge with the tissue paper.
Wonderful!

You could do that!
Yes! the Barbie bag- I just sewed 2 elastic strips along the inside sewing it about every 1.5” and turned it into an electronics cords holder. It works so perfect.
Great idea!!
HAND SANITIZER works great at soaking the paint off brushes. leave them in there for several hours if not over night.
Good to know! I'll have to try that!!
I really liked how you made the flower stems look so much better. The problem is the leaves! The pumpkins and fall leaves looked great! Many of the storage tips are helpful. And the ideas for plastic hangers!
Thanks so much 😊 glad you enjoyed the hacks!
You have some Excellent ideas!!! I plan to buy that folding organizer to fit my glassware in.
Great idea!
The Ribbon holder with the hangers is a game changer, and the food color for the beads. 😊 Congratulations on your Pregnancy ♥️
Thank you!! 😊
lil tip for dried paint brushes, soak in a baggie with hand sanitizer over night and then rinse. game changer. i forgot to rinse my mod podge brush, works for mod podge too.
Ooo I’ve never tried the hand sanitizer, I’ll have to try that next!! Thank you!

Loved today's video. My favorite was the food coloring for wood beads! I have hated painting those little things! Thanks for all you do.
You are so welcome!
The finger soaker/protectors are great. I think I could actually use those.
Awesome! They are one of my favorite finds!
The snap bracelet one by far my favorite
The hooks for the cricut mats in the shower!
It’s so nice because it catches the drips too 🙌🏼
TFS Whitney you look amazing 😊 I am using the silicone pot holders with my glue gun. And I have lots of those school boxes that snap closed for small paints
You are so kind, thank you! That’s a great use, for the paints!
