Storing Items In Baby Food Jars
Baby food jars are great for storing small
nails, screws and other items so that they are easy to see. You can put the jars in
a old spice race to keep them together. You can also attach the metal lids to the
underside of a shelf, the jars can then hang from the shelf and be seen easily.Twist
Ties and Rubber Bands
Twist ties work well for wrapping up power
tool cords and keeping wires together. Rubber bands also have a variety of uses and
are good to keep handy. Take an old bike inner tube and cut it into rings to make
some heavy duty rubber bands.
Hanging Tools
If you enough wall space, hang shovels and
other garden tools upside down on your walls. For smaller tools you can get a peg
board that you can mount on your wall and fit with a variety of pegs and hooks and store
tools that you need to have handy.
Storing Paint Cans
Before storing paint, put some paint on
the top and side of the can so you can easily see what color it is. If the can is
almost empty, transfer it to a smaller container since paint cans take up a lot of shelf
space. If you may want to try to recreate the color in the future, write the color
information on a piece of paper and tape it to the side of the paint can.
