When making macrame jewelry or friendship bracelets it is sometimes hard to measure the length of your project. By photocopying a ruler and taping it onto your clipboard or macrame board, you will save a lot of time!

Cake sizes & servings. Good to know

TIP: When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria on the surface. Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.

thank you @Nicola! // Just remove the wrap and fill with whatever needs stored. From sugar to goldfish this works great. Spout is perfect for pouring and the lids easily screw off! Genius!

i've tried a bunch of different techniques i found online but the easiest, least messy way to take labels off of jars is to soak the jar in hot, soapy water for a few hours or overnight, then scrub the shit off with a brillo pad.

Everytime a $5 dollar bill comes into your possession, save it in a jar envelope or such....mounts up quicker than you think it would.

water packets with a 5 year shelf life... essential for the zombocalypse.
