The post Awesome Garden Toy Ideas appeared first on CheerCrank.

I just found a really awesome video on YouTube which taught me a bunch of new rubber band hacks, and some of them are just amazing. I especially love the one for keeping your iPhone from sliding around in the car (check out another awesome iPhone hack here). I’ll be so glad to have that problem solve on my next road trip.

There really are a huge number of awesome ideas packed into this video. A lot of these are things that should be obvious, but I just never thought of them (the iPhone hack being a prime example)! Now that I’ve seen this, I am going to go through and watch everything on Japanese Lifehacker’s channel. And I am definitely not going to give up on my habit of collecting rubber bands wherever I find them. I am going to be using these things a lot more now

Book spine bookmark – Some book lovers may have a big problem with this project, but oftentimes older books are simply beyond repair. Give them new life with this very cool reuse.

Old book portable art studio – Again, books are for more than just reading. This project is perfect for those old textbooks no longer used to educate, but which have the required heft to make this idea a success.

Decoupaged map chair – Mixing cartography with utility, this project gives maps new life by glueing them to existing furniture.

Globe light fixture – If you have an old globe looking to be used, this light fixture will ensure the user gets a geography lesson each time he or she uses the light.

Globe light spotlight fixture – Another globe fixture, this spotlight alternative is enough to complete any space in your house looking for some intellectual style and gravitas.

Upcycled drink station – A wayward chest of draws can be transformed into this hip wall bar. It’s stealth is sure to surprise even your most aware guests.

CD jewel case art – Whom alive over the past 30 years doesn’t have a ton of those jewel CD cases packed away in storage? Put them to good use with this adjustable art installation.

Piano bar – Once your piano has outlived its usefulness, this reuse could extend its life another few decades.

Nightstand kitchen – If you have kids, don’t throw out that old nightstand! It can outfit your child’s faux kitchen in the cutest possible way.

Spice rack paint caddy – Once a spice rack starts to look dated, repurpose it in the art room! Just as it kept your spices separated, this paint caddy does a great job of separating and highlighting all the colors in the rainbow.

Reading canopy – If that old papasan chair from the 80s is still gathering dust in your basement, flip the whole thing on its head to create this cozy reading canopy.

Updating dressers – Is your dresser teetering on the verge of irrelevancy? Update it’s look quickly and easily. Simply replacing some paint and pulls can do the job!

Lego table – Make a piece of old furniture your child’s favorite with this lego-inspired redo that mixes furniture with fun!

Small Lego table – Smaller tables are good for the Lego treatment too. This project’s petite size makes it a great for pulling out when it’s time for that playdate.

Refurbish old laptop – We don’t often think of our old technology as a medium to reuse, but considering how much of the stuff we all have laying around, upcycling a laptop to use for a specific purpose – for storing recipes in the kitchen, or to handle your security system – should be on the top of the recycle list.

Nightstand desk – That old desk’s lifespan just got a whole lot longer with this cool idea to transform it into a nightstand.

Coffee table ottoman – Coffee tables go out of style in a flash. When they do, upcycle it into this ottoman piece that will spruce up a slumping living room.

Storage ottoman – If the dresser frame is beyond repair, you can still use the drawers. This approach gives you a place to store stuff in a room that often needs more storage space.

Dye a faded sofa – Don’t buy a new sofa; dye the one you have to breathe life into it.

Chair tree swing – This novel idea is perfect for nonscheduled events, like a family reunion that suddenly is at your place. All the kids get their own swing if you have enough space on a tree branch.

Vintage crib bookshelf – When you baby grows too big for the crib, turn it into this cute bookshelf for your child’s room. This will provide a link to the first pieces of furniture in your child’s life.

Crib toy chest – Speaking of cribs, here’s one converted into a cute toy box.

Old shirt produce bag – Turn that old shirt into a fashionable produce back that will not only have you looking good in the grocery store aisles, but also will cute down on your use of all those plastic grocery bags.

Old denim jeans rug – Jeans too tight or no longer en vogue? Turn them into these awesome rugs to extend its life beyond keeping you clothed.

Rag rug – These genius rag rugs are soft and eye popping. They also are great because they can easily be replaced with another. You won’t lose a wink of sleep if you have to throw one out because the new puppy isn’t yet potty trained.

Suitcase chair – Let’s finish strong with the kookiest item in the collection – a former suitcase converted into a chair. It’s easy to dismiss, but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

Keep Tall Boots from Slouching: During the colder months, it seems like almost everyone wears boots. Even when it’s hot out, people can be spotted with knee-highs and westerns. Whether it’s for fashion or because you live in a place where 3 feet of snow is common, a good pair of boots (or five) is nice to have. The biggest problem comes in storage. In both women’s and men’s boots, if the material doesn’t hold its shape very well, they end up folding in half, which can cause a permanent crease. Or, they just keep falling over.

The post Awesome Tips for Binder Clips That Will Change Your Life appeared first on CheerCrank.

DIY Confectioner’s Sugar – Confectioners’ sugar, or powdered sugar, is a baking staple, but instead of running to the store to pick up more in the middle of the frosting recipe, throw some sugar in the food processor and make your own!

Skip the spatula and use non-stick spray to release hard to measure ingredients like honey and molasses. Spray your measuring cup before measuring these sticky substances and you’ll have a perfect measurement every time!

Crimp Your Pie Crusts – While taste is the one of the most important factors of a pie, there’s no denying that details can help bring a pie to the next level. This video will help you do just that as it introduces you to 20 ways to crimp a pie crust in 120 seconds!

Soften Brown Sugar – You’re reaching for that bag of brown sugar when you realize, to your horror, that it is rock solid and not even Thor’s hammer could break it apart. Don’t worry, an apple slice or a simple piece of bread might be all you need to remedy this woeful tale!

Were you a little too excited to crack that egg and some of the shell fell in? Wet your fingers before trying to scoop it out and the shell will be drawn towards the water and come right out!

DIY Miracle Cake Release – Make the process of “greasing and flouring” your cake pans that much easier with this miracle cake release for a fraction of the price of the store bought kind! It’s also perfect self stable so you can keep it around to use whenever you need it.

DIY Brown Sugar – Suddenly find that you’re low on brown sugar? You can make your own! All it takes is sugar, molasses, and a food processor.

Pudding Mix – Instead of using box pudding mix, try making your own with this simple recipe! Better yet, you know everything that is going in to your mix.

Are you missing a crucial ingredient? Fear not! This chart has the answer to many baking substitutions that you can make in a pinch instead of having to drop everything to run to the store. Some of these may surprise you but they are guaranteed to work!

Make Your Own Gluten Free Flour – If you’re looking for a flour substitute, some recipes call for oat flour. Instead of running to the store to spend money on an expensive bag of oat flour, check your cabinets! You might be able to make your own with this super easy recipe.

Impromptu Tart Pan – We’ve all been there at some point, you need a small pan and all you have are 9″x12″ cake pans, cookie sheets, etc. Hack yourself a tart pan with this excellent video how-to!

How to Stabilize Whipped Cream – If you have used whipped cream for anything, you know that it can quickly lose its beautiful fluffy shape quickly when left at room temperature. One way to remedy this is to stabilize your whipped cream and here are several handy ways to do just that!

Salvage Those Burned Cookies – Did those cookies bake a little long and now the bottoms are a crispy brown that  no one will enjoy? You can fix it and all you need is a cheese grater!

Keep Your Cake Moist – Laying a slice of bread on top of your cake while it’s cooling will help the cake retain its moisture and keep it from drying out.

Drop It Like It’s Hot (It’s Not) – Air bubbles can be the bane of cake bakers everywhere, but there’s a way to fix this. Once you pour your cake batter into the pan, drop it on the counter from a height of about a foot. This will pop any bubbles suspended in the batter and help it to even out better for baking.

Skip The Frosting – Skip the mess of frosting by placing large marshmallows on top of cupcakes during the last 5-minutes of baking, they’ll melt perfectly and do the job of frosting for you!

This Trick Writes Neatly On Cakes – If you can’t seem to get the hang of writing on a cake with frosting, using toothpicks to cheat! Use a toothpick to poke a guide into the top of the cake for you to follow as you write.

DIY Cake Flour – Cake flour is expensive, but makes all the difference when it comes to baking cakes from scratch! Well now you can make cake flour all by yourself instead of springing for an expensive box!

The Key To Making Flawless Cookies – Check out this recipe, and the attached infographic to get the down low on what makes the perfect cookie!

Make All The Colors of The Frosting Rainbow – This wonderful chart tells you how to make all the colors you could ever dream of with a standard box of red, yellow, green, and blue food coloring!
