With all sorts of products and services available on the market these days, not having things like a makeup brush organizer when we want to go on a trip could make us feel at a loss. Hacks not only give us great alternatives, but they also make our lives easier.
This is why Runt Of The World is bringing you hacks inspired by your familiar, everyday items. Life sure seems easier and more fun with these handy hacks!
You have 2 options and both require only 3 items.
Option 1:
credit card
a cloth
WD-40
Remove the sticker from the metal surface and scrape the residue with a credit card. Apply a small amount of WD-40 onto the cloth and rub until the sticker peels away.
Option 2:
Mix the coconut oil and baking soda together. With your finger, apply the mixture to the residue before wiping it away with a wet cloth.
Pour some cola into the burned pan and bring it to a boil. Leave the pan to sit overnight and then just wash it off. Now it’ll be sparkling clean!
Fold the opening of the package toward the front of the bag several times. Then fold in both of the top edges toward the front and flip the entire fold backward to secure. If the chips don’t fall out when you turn the bag upside down, you’ve done it right! If you prefer to watch how this is done.
Save on wallpaper and avoid clutter by making your own art on the wall with the long cord of your lamp! All you need is your imagination and these cheap tools:
Measure your cable with a string and tape the string to the wall according to your design. Trace the string with a pencil. Put the adhesive tape on the wall along the pattern you penciled in. Put a little super glue on the tape and place your cable on it. Hold the cable in place each time until the super glue dries. And there you have it, your own clutter-free unique design for all to admire! Click here for some more ideas on how you can create a cool design.
Combine the baking soda and vinegar in a bottle. When the mixture rises up, be sure to cover the mouth of the bottle and quickly turn the bottle upside down. Place the mouth of the bottle on the hole in the sink. Now all you need to do is wait for the magic to happen. It’s very quick and actually works! If you want to see it for yourself.

6. It’s not necessary to call a plumber for a clogged sink if you have baking soda, vinegar, and a bottle.
Combine the baking soda and vinegar in a bottle. When the mixture rises up, be sure to cover the mouth of the bottle and quickly turn the bottle upside down. Place the mouth of the bottle on the hole in the sink. Now all you need to do is wait for the magic to happen. It’s very quick and actually works! If you want to see it for yourself.
7. A homemade magnetic pot for your plant.

Pencil the holes of the L brackets on the wall with 5 in (12.7 cm) between the 2 brackets. Drill the holes into the wall. Insert the wall anchors into the holes. Drive the screws into the holes after placing the L brackets against the wall. Measure paper as if to wrap it. On the flap of the paper on the back of the book, make 2 rectangles 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart and cut. Take out the wrapping paper and insert the protruding brackets into the holes. Place the book on the bracket by wrapping the book back again. Once you’ve placed a few more books atop the initial book, you will see floating books against your wall.
9. Cut a cake into layers with dental floss and a toothpick.
Cutting a cake into layers can be tricky. To get a uniform layered cake, use unflavored dental floss and toothpicks to cut the cake. Place toothpicks at the halfway point around the edges of the cake. Align the floss around the row of toothpicks. When the floss is fully wrapped around the cake, cross the ends of the floss and hold each end in each hand. Pull each end toward the other crossing hands making the floss go all the way through the cake. Take out the toothpicks and voila, one cake becomes 2!

Put your phone inside the slot to amplify the sound from your phone.

Cut the flat part of the plastic food container you obtained from take-out food or a DIY store. Trace the outline of a name or a word you want to make into a necklace.
