6. Keep loose cords in toothbrush holders or eyeglass cases.
Tired of finding random cords around the house and being confused about who they belong to or what their purpose is?

Anyone have any ideas for storing ties? Thanks
could they go on the shower curtain rings like scarves? My guys just roll them and tuck into back of sock drawers.
Thank you, Amy
I’ve seen them on the oven cooling racks too
To store ties do like they do for scarfs. Shower ring on a hanger and slip tie into shower ring or use the cooling rack on a wall.
We use the toothbrush holder for plastic straws. I know, I know, but I do my part in lots of other places. We just can’t live w/o straws. Also, that cooling rack looks almost just like the wall organizer my daughter got me for Christmas from target. Cost $20. You could just spray paint or gold or whatever color.
Thanks for sharing how you hold plastic straws, Cathy! Love the idea on spray painting the cooling rack too! 🥰🙌
The soap container for crayons and toothbrush holder for cords… genius!!!!
The soap container is a good thing for putting together a little medical kit too for emergencies. Put things like bandages, alcohol wipes, sterile gloves, tweezers, antibiotic medicine, small hand sanitizer, small gauze pads, even mini scissors. Or, even make a kit for a baby shower to store things like nail clippers, sample sized rash cream, lotion, wet naps, sterile gloves, safety pins, things like that. Great to throw in your purse, diaper bag, hurricane, or earthquake kit.
Great ideas, Sue! Thanks so much for passing along these helpful suggestions on other ways to make on-the-go kits with those soap containers. Love them! ❤️
These were lots of great ideas. Thank you for sharing!
You’re so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the list! 🤗❤️
I used a fabric cube in the passenger side floor to catch items I need to bring in the house or to hold take out for the drive home from falling over!
What a great tip! I’ll have to grab one for that too! Thanks, DS!
The soap container will hold a stack of playing cards
Thanks for sharing this helpful idea, Texas Nana! 💖
