| Emergency Sewing Kit
|
Have you ever lost a button when away from home? Well, I have several times and have needed an emergency sewing kit. I have been trying to think of a way to make one to go into my purse that didn't take a lot of room.

| Reuse Curio Cabinet as a Jewelry Box
|
|
I reused an old curio cabinet as a jewelry box! I simply add hooks at the top of each shelf section for necklaces and bracelets. Then I found some cute wooden boxes at various yard sales, for less than a dollar, to hold my watches, rings, etc.

| Turn Mail Order Catalogs into Memory Books
|
|
I like to keep very well bound mail order catalogs. At the end of the year, I will take the best art work of my children for each month of the year, and attach them to the pages of the catalog.

| Organizing Useful Tips
|
|
I have found so many wonderful tips on ThriftyFun and know I can't remember them all so I came up with an idea. I print and cut out the tips that I like and place them listed by category in an old recipe box.

| Storing Clothes in a Damp Basement
|
|
How do I keep clothes dry in damp basement? I want to pack them away, but am not sure how to keep out mold and mildew smells and dampness. Every time I pull something out it smells and feels damp, or it's plain moldy, especially leather.

| Create Display Shelves Above Windows
|
Some time ago someone posted an idea to use shelves over windows. I had commented that I did the same thing only I used wooden door gingerbread trim to make the side brackets so that I could hang my curtain rods through them.

| Hanging Clothes in a Wire Rack Closet
|
|
When hanging my clothes in my closet on the wire rack, instead of hanging them on the bottom bar where the clothes get all scrunched up together, I hang them on the top bar, placing one hanger in the space between each of the cross bars.

| Chalk to Prevent Tarnish on Jewelery
|
|
To save any of your jewelery from tarnishing, pop a length of chalk inside your jewelery box. I have no idea how this works but it does!

| Recycled Kitchen Utensil Holder
|
I used Juicy Juice cans to hold my kitchen utensils. I put them in a wire basket that I found for 50 cents, added the magnets and, bingo, a multipurpose rack.
