Then, gently peel off the serrated knife stuck to the box lid, flatten the serrated knife, then fold the piece of paper in half, put the serrated blade inside the folded piece of paper, and expose our third blade. One thing is ready. Try it with a piece of paper and see if it cuts easily. You can also use this knife to cut tofu and open snack bags. Very convenient.

The second thing: dust roller. Cut the plastic wrap core in half with a knife, and then cut 12 small openings at both ends of the core. Then, wrap the thread around the core, from the outside to the inside, and wrap it into a mesh. The thread is caught in the small opening and will not move. Next, bend the wire hanger inward and bend both ends into a small dog shape. You can just jam the mesh core that you just wrapped. The dust roller is finished.

The third thing is the sewing box. Flatten and cut the remaining core into two pieces, then cut it into an approximately I-shape, wrap the thread on it, and wrap the thread-wrapped piece , bend it in half, put it in a plastic wrap box, and put a piece of sponge next to it, it can be from a jewelry box or something else. Look, the sewing box is ready. When using it, pull the thread out and hold it here, and the thread can be easily cut by the serrated knife on the plastic wrap.

(This tip only applies to sandals with broken uppers)

Remove the broken uppers. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws on both sides of the sandal. Align the original shoe upper with the old schoolbag strap, and cut the schoolbag strap according to the size of the shoe upper. After cutting, we use a lighter to burn the rough edges of the schoolbag straps so that the threads will not be accidentally recorded.

Denim removes shoe odor

When you exercise in the summer, your sneakers will cover up the sweat on your feet. After dragging your tired body home, you will wear it as soon as you are lazy. Throw your shoes aside, put them on and take them off before entering the house, but the odor in the shoes will slowly come out. When you are about to put on your shoes and go out, the odor will hit your face and make you unable to breathe. Get angry. Is it difficult for people whose feet sweat a lot to have to wash their shoes every day? In fact, you don’t have to, here is a super simple trick to deodorize your sneakers!

First, take old jeans that cannot be worn at home, lay them flat, put your feet on the jeans, and then draw a circle along the feet with a pen, so that a circle is drawn on the denim. Draw the shape of the sole of your foot, then cut the fabric along the line, and use the same method to cut out the denim insole for the other foot. Now take the double-sided tape, stick the tape on the insole, and then stick the prepared denim insole in the shoe. Press the adhesive area firmly to fix the insole in our shoe. Um! Our denim anti-odor insoles are finished, how about, keep it simple! Nowadays, even if you wear sports shoes barefoot, it is not easy to produce odor. After use, you only need to gently tear off the insoles and take them out to dry. There is no need to clean them frequently. Of course, if you can cut out a few more pieces of denim insoles and use a sewing machine to make them into thickened insoles, not only will the anti-odor and sweat-absorbing effect be better, but they will also be very comfortable to wear!

Principle: Why do sports shoes not produce odor even if they are worn barefoot? This is because there are many small holes in the middle of the denim material, which absorbs a lot of sweat more easily than other materials, thus controlling the humidity in the shoes and preventing the increase of bacteria.

Note: If you use new jeans fabric as insoles, the color is very likely to fade, so it is best to use worn jeans as anti-odor insoles.

The fresh film core is cleverly used as a collection bucket

Ms. Liu is a housewife who loves tidiness. She always likes to tidy up the house when she has nothing to do. But one time when she was putting on makeup, Ms. Liu encountered a little problem. There are so many cosmetics, big and small, all put in one basket. It takes a long time to search for any one. How troublesome! So, Ms. Liu came up with an easy trick.

Ms. Liu brought several plastic wrap inner tubes, a piece of paper, a pen, and a serrated knife. First take out a few makeup pens, draw a line on one end of the inner tube of plastic wrap, and then cut it with a knife. It turns out that the purpose of using a serrated knife is to have greater friction when cutting the inner tube of plastic wrap, which saves effort. Ms. Liu cut a complete plastic wrap inner tube into several small sections, so that different makeup pens, lipsticks, and brushes can be put into different small tubes according to height, and they will not be mixed together!

Take a basket and take out all the things inside. Because the makeup pens need to be placed vertically, put a piece of paper at the bottom of the basket to prevent things from leaking. Then, arrange the small tubes neatly in the basket in order of height. The empty space can be used to place cotton swabs, powder, combs, etc.

Is this neat? It can hold a lot of things without confusion, making it much easier to find them when in use!

The inner core of toilet paper can also be used. This may be the first time you have heard of it! Divide a paper tube into three parts with a pen, and then cut them along the lines so that each part becomes a curved boat shape. Then she found a leftover snack box and arranged the cut curved pieces of paper in it. Hey, it was just right! What about below? Secure with double-sided tape! In this way, the small curved piece of paper becomes a basket for holding the pen, so that the pen will not move around in the box!

Homemade flashlight

The specific production method is: remove the lid from one end of a waste can (such as a Lulu beverage can), and use a round-head hammer to dent the other end. Use thick corrugated cardboard to roll up two AA batteries, with the positive pole facing up and the negative pole facing down, and put them into the can. Find a suitable plastic lid (for example, the large rolled box lid of Magic can just fit on the Lulu beverage can), and dig a small circular hole in the center of the lid, the size of the hole is appropriate for the light bulb to be inserted tightly. Insert the bulb base into the small hole. Take a piece of hunting wire, peel off both ends of the wire, wrap one end around the lamp holder, and poke a small hole through the side of the plastic cover with the other end. Place the plastic lid on the can. Check whether the bulb and battery are in close contact. The disposable flashlight is ready here. When in use, use your thumb to press the wire coming out of the side wall onto the unpainted weld of the can, and the flashlight will glow. If your thumb leaves the wire and jumps up, the flashlight will go out. It is very convenient to use.

Homemade solar cooker

Find a concave reflective bowl on a large flashlight, and use rigid foam plastic or wood to cut a cylinder about 4 cm long with a diameter that is just right.

Insert the cylinder into the round hole of the reflective bowl, and then insert both ends of the wire into a piece of foam plastic or wooden base. Sharpen both ends of a thin bamboo stick, insert one end into the cylinder in the center of the reflective bowl, and insert a small piece of potato into the other end. Place the device in the sun, with the reflective bowl facing the sun, and then patiently adjust the length of the bamboo stick so that the inserted potato is exactly at the focus of the light.
