Most people consider plastic bottle caps to be garbage, but for DIYers and housewives, they are the most practical household items. If you have a few of them in stock at home, you can solve several annoying problems at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cbest\u201d and least known trick is to make an invisible toothbrush holder that saves space and maintains hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\uddb7 Trick No. 1: Hygienic toothbrush holder (in tiles)
Toothbrushes in glasses often stand in a little water, where bacteria multiply. This trick will keep them dry and airy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notch: Take the lid and cut a “U”-shaped hole in its side wall (into that ring) – wide enough to thread the brush handle through, but the head does not fall out.
Attachment: Stick double-sided adhesive tape (ideally foam, waterproof) to the back (solid) side of the lid.
Application: Stick the lid to the tiles or mirror horizontally (with the hole facing you).
Result: You simply “hook” the brush into the lid by the neck. It holds firmly, does not touch the wall and dries beautifully.
\ud83d\udca1 Other ingenious uses for lids:
Problem Solution from the lid Procedure
Dull knives in the kitchen Emergency sharpener Turn the lid upside down. Some have a rough ceramic ring at the bottom (if they are from drinks in a glass). Run the sharpener along the edge a few times.
Sliding furniture Floor protectors Tape the legs of your chairs with lids, into which you insert a piece of felt. The plastic slides over the laminate without scratching.
Soaking spices Double cap Cut off the neck of the bottle with the lid, thread it through a bag of spices and seal. The spices will stay fragrant for months.
Disappearing needles Magnetic pincushion Stick a small magnet inside the lid. The needles and pins will stick in it and never fall out.
\u2728 Bonus trick: \u201cStamp\u201d for the dough
If you are baking Linz cookies or homemade cookies and don\u2019t have molds, the lid is the perfect size for cutting out the centers. If the lid has an interesting relief on the inside (logos or lines), you can use it as an embossing stamp to decorate marzipan or dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip: If you need to sort out small screws or nuts in your workshop, glue the caps side by side on a wooden bar. This will give you the perfect, clear organizer for small items that otherwise always get lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
