Safely pick up glass shardsWhy risk cutting yourself picking up bits of broken glass from the kitchen floor? Just hold a long piece of transparent tape tightly at each end and use it to blot up all the shards.
Create a no-fly zoneMake your own fly and pest strips that are free of polluting toxic chemicals and poisons. Cover empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls with transparent tape, sticky side out, and hang them in the kitchen or wherever else you need them.
Mark start of plastic-wrap rollIf you've ever had trouble finding the beginning of a roll of plastic food wrap, you'll appreciate this time-saving trick: Put a piece of transparent tape on your finger, sticky side out, and dab your finger on the roll until you find the edge. Use a short piece of tape to lift the edge and pull gently.
Prevent salt and pepper spillsMany salt and pepper shakers, especially ceramic ones, have to be filled through a hole in the bottom. Before you refill one of these shakers, tape over the holes on top. That way you won't have any wasteful spills when you turn the shaker upside down to fill it. Also, remember to tape the tops when moving to a new home, or even when you're just transporting the shakers to and from a picnic.
Keep hands free at groceryNext time you go food shopping, bring some tape with you and use it to affix your shopping list to the handle of your grocery cart. This will free both your hands and you won't keep misplacing or dropping your list.
Make candles fit snuglyDon't let loose candles spoil the romantic mood or cause a fire at your next candlelight dinner. If the candles don't fit snugly into the holder, wrap layers of tape around their bottom edges until they fit just right.
