Believe it or not, dental floss will help you slice through the dough with ease, giving you perfectly shaped cinnamon rolls, cookies and more.

9. Apply Eyeliner With A Spoon

Placing a spoon on the top of your lid will help guide you so that you get a perfect line each and every time.

10. Keep Track Of Bobby Pins

Placing bobby pins in a Tic Tac container means they’re easy to throw in your bag and easy to keep track of. Bobby pins have a way of disappearing, but not with this nifty trick.

11. Easily Pour Dressings

Instead of removing the foil from dressing or oil, poke holes in it, instead. That way you’ll never have dressing come rushing out of the bottle too quickly again. Just think of all the calories you’ll save!

This is also a great tip for things like vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and mineral oil.

12. Easily Dispensable Snacks

Placing cheerios, trail mix and more in empty coffee creamer bottles allows you to easily pour just the right amount out to keep your toddler entertained (and full). They’re not only great for in-house storage but at the park, in the pocket of your car or on a boat, as it keeps the snacks from getting smushed.

13. Aloe Vera Ice Cubes

Aloe vera makes sunburned skin feel so much better already, but imagine if it were cold to boot. That’s the ultimate relief, right there!
