The Helpful Hanger


Near my house is a humongous black raspberry bush, but sometimes I find it troubling to walk through the vines to retrieve some of the berries in the back of the bush. Here I have a solution- A wire hanger (The kind with a cardboard bottom is preferred, but a regular one will work too).

First remove the cardboard loop on the bottom if there is one. It should come off with a simple tug.  Then connect the two ends by means of the curves, if you have the right kind of hanger you'll know what I'm talking about.  Finally, secure it with a piece of duct tape or packaging tape.  Use the hanger hook to grab the far away vines of a bush and pull it towards you. A Great Arm Extension!

 If you're using a plain old wire hanger, lengthen it by straightening out any curves and making a curve at the bottom. That works just fine as well!

Practical Putty

I've recently discovered a few things you can do with silly putty.

Summer solution
1. Take a ball of silly putty and an ice cube
2. Flatten and spread out the putty
3.Wrap the ice cube in the putty
4. Place it on a pulse point such as your wrist
5. Rebel against the sun's heat and cool off!!!

Pencil gripper
1. Take a ball of silly putty and divide it into three parts
2. Flatten and shape into a rectangle (Do this for each part)
3. Take a pen or pencil and wrap the putty around it

4. No more sore hands!

Gift card holder
1. Take your silly putty and shape it into a square
2. Put a corner of the gift card on the putty diagonally
3. Fold over the putty and shape around the card accordingly.
4. Do this to the other 3 corners if you'd like
5. Stick the gift card on a place other than the refrigerator( or on the fridge, that works too!)
