I originally thought that when it came to being thrifty, my mother should be considered an expert. However, after seeing the “storage wisdom” of netizens, I can only say two words: “Impressive”! I used to think that storage meant spending money on some storage boxes and containers to pack up all the sundries at home. But after seeing the storage tips shared by netizens, they managed to organize the whole house without spending a single cent. It’s really amazing. Everyone should learn these skills quickly. Maybe those “waste items” at home can be transformed into great storage tools.
01. Cake Ribbons When ordering a cake for a birthday, do you usually throw away the ribbons on it? Unexpectedly, after seeing the transformation by a netizen, I was completely shocked. I felt like I had missed out on a fortune. Prepare a binder clip, then use it to clip the cake ribbon. Finally, clip all the hairpins at home onto the ribbon. Those hairpins that were usually scattered everywhere now have a proper place. Just take them off when you need them and clip them back when you’re done. There’s no need to worry about losing hairpins anymore. Or tie the cake ribbon to a hanger, which can also be used to store hairpins. 02. Fish Tank Edge Trim The fish tank edge trim that has been sitting at home with no use can be easily transformed into a storage magic tool. Directly paste the fish tank edge trim behind the mirrored cabinet. Isn’t it convenient to place a facial mask there? It makes full use of the space on the mirrored cabinet door. Stick one on the bathroom wall and you can directly put toothpaste and facial cleanser in it. The storage effect is really great. Look at the storage behind the cabinet door in my house. I’m really satisfied! Everyone should quickly try using the fish tank edge trim to organize the small items at home! 03. Milk Tea Bags for Tissue Storage Don’t throw away the milk tea bags after finishing the milk tea. Generally, the quality of milk tea bags is very good, and they have a waterproof inner layer. So placing them in the bathroom to store tissues, there’s no need to worry about the tissues getting damp. The transformation method is very simple. There’s no need for fancy production methods. Just cut the bottom of the milk tea bag, put the tissues in it, and hang it directly in the bathroom. Or cut it in the front, put toilet paper or facial tissues in it, and it’s also very convenient to pull out. 04. Make a Storage Bag from Jeans If there are any unused jeans at home that you don’t wear anymore, you can actually make a nice clutch bag out of them. First, cut off a piece of the trouser leg, then cut off a 5 – centimeter square at the bottom. Cut it on both sides. Flatten the bottom diagonal and then sew them together with a needle and thread. Turn it inside out, make two holes at the top for the bag strap later. After installing the buttons, thread the rope through and stick on your favorite decorative stickers. Then a nice clutch bag is done. 05. Transform Express Delivery Boxes into Storage Boxes If you often buy things online and have too many cardboard boxes at home, you can consider transforming them into storage boxes.Begin by sourcing high-quality cardboard boxes, typically those from cosmetics and electronics are the best in quality. Trim off the upper half of the box. Adorn both the interior and exterior of the box with stickers of your choice, and once completed, it will take on this initial form. Create a partition in the middle to separate items when storing. Use hot glue and hemp rope to wrap around the lower half in circles. A cost-free storage box is now ready! It’s perfect for storing cosmetics or small household items.
06. Dessert Boxes – I never discard the boxes left over from desserts due to their good quality. They are just right for storing seasonings or ginger and garlic at home. 07. Mask Storage for Charging Cables – Every time I open the drawer, it’s a mess of charging cables. If not organized, they tangle and become a hassle to untangle. To store charging cables easily, use an unused mask and remove the pressure strip inside. Bundle the cables with the pressure strip and place them in a box or directly in the drawer to avoid clutter. 08. Paper Bag Storage for Refrigerator Accessories – When purchasing items like hamburgers, bread, and desserts, these kraft paper bags are often provided. They are of particularly good quality, so don’t throw them away. Fold them and place them inside the refrigerator to store seasonings. 09. Dental Floss Box for Jewelry – I always keep used dental floss boxes, and with a piece of foam, they can be turned into a jewelry box. Place a piece of foam inside the box, and then earrings and small pieces of jewelry can be stored within. 10. Milk Tea Cup for Storage – Used milk tea cups can also serve as storage. Placed on a dressing table, they are perfect for storing makeup brushes. On a desk, they can hold stationery. In the kitchen, they can store tableware. On a desk, they can also function as a small desktop trash can! In summary, storage does not necessarily require purchasing many boxes or bins. You can try repurposing unused items at home, and the results are quite satisfactory.
