DEAR HELOISE: I have a lot of costume jewelry, and jewelry making is also a hobby. I had so many necklaces and earrings that I hung them on the wall behind the bathroom door using nails. I hung more and more stuff, and it began to look messy and disorganized.
So, at the home-improvement store, I bought several coat-hook assemblies. Each was a piece of painted wood with three, four or five hooks on them. My husband helped me hang them up. Now my jewelry looks great, and there is even room for more. — K.M., New Braunfels, Texas.
Dear K.M.: Behind any door is a good place to hang items like hats, purses and scarves. Use that space — don't waste it. — Heloise.
Travel hint
Dear Readers: Here is a jewelry travel hint. Use the small, clear, stackable bead organizers (also sold to keep fishing lures in) for jewelry when traveling. You can store items individually or coupled together, and you easily can see what you're looking for. — Heloise.
Paper-towel substitute
DEAR HELOISE: Instead of using paper towels to clean windows, for polishing, etc., I use clean cloth diapers. Their uses are unlimited. The square size are less expensive, at about $10 a dozen. They wash great and withstand heavy bleaching if necessary. It also helps our landfills. — Donna Gallant, via e-mail.
No missing parts
DEAR HELOISE: We were assembling a desk recently that had a multitude of small parts. To keep the parts from being misplaced, I put them in an empty, clean egg carton. You can separate by type or size. — Casandra Ridge, via fax.
Unfinished painting?
DEAR HELOISE: Still need to finish that painting job tomorrow? Put the brush, roller, etc., into a plastic grocery bag and close up the end. Can't get to it until next week? (You should double-bag this or put in a sealable plastic bag. — Heloise) Put the whole bag in the freezer. Takes only a few minutes to thaw, and you are ready to go. — Barbara Henckel, via e-mail.
If you have a question or a tip you'd like to share, fax it to 210-HELOISE or e-mail heloise@compuserve.com, or write to Heloise, Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000.
