| Make Your Own Pillowtop Mattress and Duvet Cover
|

Several years ago, I decided I wanted one of those featherbeds and a feather comforter. Instead of spending all that money, I took two old comforters, washed them up and put one under the fitted sheet on my bed - instant featherbed.

| Use Kerosene to Clean Wrenches

|
For the home DIY mechanic: to clean the grease from your wrenches, use a rag dampened with kerosene. Not only will it remove all the grease and grime, but kerosene leaves a very light oil coating, even when wiped dry.

 Peel off backing from safety glow tape and decorate a lamp shade with it. Mine has a simple design. As it charges in the day, it is then ready for night, acting like a nightlight for free!

| Use Adjustable Chair for Low Work

DH and I are in our 70's and a few years ago, he went on a remodeling rampage. When he was putting down the ceramic tile in the living room, I suggested he take the task chair from the computer desk and put it on the lowest level.

Don't have a staple remover? You can use a regular nail clipper to neatly pry out unwanted staples! My hubby discovered this while working at home.

| Inexpensive Waterproof Bed Protector
|
|
I have an idea for a waterproof cover to protect the bed from bed-wetting. The hardware store has rolls of plastic sheeting in various sizes and thicknesses. It's available in both black and clear.

| Seasonal Flag Care and Tips
|
|
I like to display one of the larger decorative banners on the flagpole on my porch for all the seasons, holidays and occasions. They're nylon, nearly indestructible, and can be washed in the washer when they get dusty.

| Vaseline to Weatherproof Screws
|
|
A handy tip if you are using screws outside for any purpose. Dip the screw point in some Vaseline, or grease before you screw it into the wood, or wall, this will put a kind of weather proof coat over it.

| Shelf Liner for Securing Throw Rugs
|
|
My husband scored several new oriental style rugs - both an area area and matching/coordinating area rugs, which are lovely. The problem is that the smaller area rugs slipped on our linoleum flooring.

| Household Repair Kit
|
|
I put together my own little repair and tool box so that when I need to fix something quickly, I don't need to go to the shed and search for the tool I need.
