Sometimes, you’ve got limited space to work with around a charging port. If you don’t have access to a table or something nearby, you can try this hack to easily keep an eye on your phone and keep it close to the wall.
This person decided to make there’s look visually appealing, but a good old silver-tape will get the job done just fine. You can always simply use another piece to stick it back on the wall each time you need to use it.
Outdoor Seating
In the same sense of making a duct tape hammock and/or duct tape stretcher, we present duct tape lawn chairs! While they would be waterproof and be able to hold enough weight for semi-comfortable seating, they also shouldn’t go anywhere near the sun.
Make sure that you store these in a cool, dark place. They would work best on a back patio that’s covered by an awning or shaded by trees.
Get a Grip
If you tend to work with your hands a lot, you’ve probably already got some serious calluses from all of the manual labor. If you don’t, though, and you’ve got a situation that calls for a lot of it, you may want to try this trick to protect your hands from being rubbed raw by the metal tools.
Just wrap a couple of layers of your tape around the handgrip of your tools (pliers, hammers, etc.) Not only will this help keep your hands from blistering, but it will also help you to be more precise with the work, as you don’t have to worry about any slippage – at least, not as much as you would have to without this handy little hack.
Keep Your Family Safe
Did you know that they sell glow-in-the-dark duct tape? Well, they do, and it’s great for houses with kids…or anyone who doesn’t want to fall on their face or trip on the stairs in the dark. Simply place strips of the tape on the center of the stairs in a line going from the bottom to the top.
Sure, it may not look wonderful during the day, but what’s more important in your home, aesthetics, or your family’s safety? Place one on every stair so that no one misses a step and falls at nighttime.
Label Your Seeds
If you’ve got a green thumb and like to play around in your garden, you’ll love this next hack. You don’t need to spend money on artsy little labels for your plants when you can simply create your own. Get as creative as you like and use different colors as you see fit.
All you need to make these labels are some popsicle sticks, tape, and (optional) sharpies. Mark the names of each different types of seeds so you can easily keep an eye on their progress.
