Auntie Tips (19)

Tip 1 :
Turn used perfume bottles into decorative pieces by putting artificial flowers, or have fun lining them up on a mantle or shelf in your study or living room.

Tip 2 :
What can you do with a pair of chopsticks, beads and votive candle holder? Use them to make an arty photo stand. Apply hot glue on the centre of the votive candle holder. Stick the chopsticks in. After the glue has dried and the chopsticks are upright, fill the votive holder with beads and insert your favourite photo in between the chopsticks, or put the photo in front.

Tip 3 :
Cut out used envelope's corners, which will leave you with little triangles. These can be used as organisers for your documents. Group similar bills or papers and insert the top left side of the pages inside a triangle cut-out. Staple and them label based on date or subject.

Tip 4 :
Remove all the burnt smells in the kitchen with the skin of an orange. Simply place the skin in a shallow saucepan filled with water and simmer. Your kitchen will be filled with a refreshing aroma.
