Try these DIY tips to make home renovation and decoration easier.
1. Don’t waste water by washing paintbrushes and rollers in between coats. Instead, wrap tightly in plastic cling film and they will stay moist – even overnight.
2. Teasing a thread free and then pulling completely out from cotton and linen fabrics will create a straight line that you can follow to cut.
3. Fix a squeaky door by sprinkling talcum powder on the hinges. This also works for squeaky floorboards.
4. Use baby oil to remove paint from your skin.
5. Add two teaspoons of vanilla essence to one-and-a-half litres of paint to reduce overbearing paint smells.
6. Make threading a needle easier by squirting the thread with hairspray to make it stiff.
7. To remove old paint stains, soften with linseed oil and then wipe off. For tough stains, use a razor blade and scrape off.
8. Use double-sided tape to stop rugs from slipping.
9. Dip scissors in boiling water to make it easier to cut through delicate fabrics.
