#1 Coiled Cable

Got some loose cables in your workspace? Make it look tidy with a hair dryer! Get a small rod to wrap around your cable, clamp one end to the base, hold it in place, then wrap it around tightly. Clamp it in place once finished, then heat it from every angle using a hair dryer for ten minutes. Once done, slide it off the rod and you should have a coiled cable.

#2 Pseudoshrink Wrap

Cover your item entirely with cling wrap and seal it by heating it with the hair dryer. Work carefully around the frayed edges until they reach their heat threshold and start to bond and melt together.

#3 Mini Vacuum

Cut the top of an empty plastic bottle. Next, place a paper towel at the back of your hair dryer, then press the bottle top right over. Tear away all the excess paper towels, then seal the entire bottle with some duct tape. You now have a mini vacuum!

#4 Keyboard

Grab the mini vacuum you just made and replace the plastic bottle with a plastic funnel. No need to tape it on, you can use it right away to clean your computer keyboard.

#5 Automatic Hand Dryer

Adjust how long your motion sensor plug will stay powered on and limit the range of the sensor by covering it with some sticky paper. Now, plug it in, attach the hairdryer plug into the socket, then place the hairdryer in a count right next to it.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
