@1:14 my version of this hack is to throw away the cork, finish off the bottle. Thumb up if you agreed.

[@mattiet967]

Indeed

[@All-ym2bg]

Right 😂🍾🍻

[@marciaroyaltywaldron3030]

🤣🤣 I usually slice off a piece

[@yolandadenny8692]

Thank you for the hacks. Repetition helps us remember them. When I see it more than 3 times over, the idea sticks. Appreciate your time in sharing. There is something for everyone!

[@himadrihimantabordoloi4667]

Grandmothers are awesome!!!They know the solution for every problem

[@KHRN2014]

Gotta love grandma's old car vent cell phone hack.

[@Manuel1192]

Yes, my grandma always knew how to put a smartphone to a vine bottle using some rubber band during the 1960s

[@christiethorold]

LOL

[@tag6982]

Thank You exactly!!!!

[@karenmckown-arano2341]

I know I'm late to the party, but had to say- I'm a great-grandmom and I wasn't doing much of anything in the 60s but learning to walk and elementary school. BTW I personally find my stovetop lid holder does a great job of holding my smartphone.

[@A-ELL]

That was back when smartphones were made of Bakelite and only had a black & white screen...

[@viningx21]

There were NO smart phones in the the 60’s! LOL😂🤣

[@texasgrandma17]

I love your tips, but it would be nice if you would list the amounts of the products you use as well! Keep them coming.

[@kimmimcknight3417]

Exactly!!! That's what i wanna know, too..

[@rashmipankaj4248]

Patty Estes kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnO5pZ6Pr5eoerc

[@josiezellr2800]

Yes. you never tell amount of ingredients you are using. For us it is all guess work.

[@techlogy6935]

Wow! Who wacht every day at this channel Ilike it 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@luvv5414]

NO WAY UNBELIEVABLE IT IS SO GENIUS!

[@tamatharawls637]

I love this. It's wonderful...if only I could tell whether it's salt, sugar or baking soda being used, that would be helpful.

[@gadgetsage]

What is the mystery powder at the end, salt? Baking soda? Cornstarch? How are we supposed to know? Rubber band to hold teabag is dumb, just wrap the string around the handle once and it will stay Hiccups =rub top of mouth with thumb, sympathetic nerve

[@sgarcata]

or just hold the tea bag string until you finish pouring water.

[@magsher8898]

just place your finger on the tag

[@allieberry2469]

Eating a spoonful of peanut butter cures hiccups as well for some reason.

[@akshethapremkumar3905]

Grandparents are our life😊😊😊

[@khadijaakterbristy7450]

grandmother is the best👌

[@StephFrandsen]

So from 11:55 on we're supposed to "guess" whether it's salt, sugar or baking soda through to the end of the video????

[@jonnyice]

Hey 5 Minute Crafts--please do tell what the substance is after 11:55. It looks very helpful, but what is it?

[@MalinWestlund]

It’s a sugar cube 😆

[@cnoconoir]

The cubes are all sugar, the sugaring paste is clearly sugar, everything after that is salt as far as I can tell (the coffee cup one just might be baking soda, try both).

[@joycethiebault6012]

Salt

[@sgarcata]

@@MalinWestlund not talking about the cube... talking about the white stuff that was poured here and there

[@sharoneyre7035]

...some of these 'hacks' are really quite useful...but am I the only one who watches these sorts of videos and then completely forgets most of the content?!

[@ilanesh]

me too

[@bettyhouk8727]

Sharon Eyre welcome to my dimension I love these helpful hints, some I knew about , some I will use in the not to distant future . love the show

[@pampam696969]

why imma gonna start. a project of my own.. imma gonna go back and rewatch these videos and write down the. hacks and arts and crafts stuffs that i love and put into my binder notebook in my recipes section

[@pampam696969]

then that way i have daily reference when i need instead of continuously trying to remember and find videos again

[@jordynfahey7221]

My favorite part of this is in the photograph you keep straight with the rubber bands, it's a picture of a dad talking a selfie of the family...

[@brinknielsen22]

Grandma’s are awesome

[@jazelleradoc7591]

Grandmas' know what's best, that's why they're always right

[@cnoconoir]

They're very fond of elastic bands. Cats will scrape through any liner unless the litter is really deep (sometimes even that won't stop them).

[@yakkyjoe1]

Cats don't like plastic liners.

[@catherinejolicoeur4007]

I just used a potato to clean an old oil painting and am AMAZED at how it brought out all the color in the floral arrangement. It didn't work as quickly or as brilliantly, but it definitely does work. Now my question is, as someone else referred to, what do I do next to remove the potato starch?

[@goldngirl1958]

Love these ideas. I've been watching these for awhile, & recently discovered that my granddaughter (she's almost 8 yrs old) watches 5-Minute Crafts just about every day. Now we watch them together.

[@ananyagupta4599]

fabulous , just loved these pretty hacks

[@Val-zj1zz]

9:48 ingredients to clean furniture! Hope it works! Lots of good tips here, but not sure I would want to wash an old oil painting with a potatoe haha! 2 or 3 other important cleans to remember follow that one.

[@lisee7377]

I love your videos I watch them everyday

[@arushigupta1172]

Grandmas recipes are always cool awesome

[@TheElectricPedros]

It appears the secret is rubber bands. Now to finish my time machine. (made entirely from rubber bands)

Congratulations to 16M Subscribers

[@NandaRoxNUShould2]

So all I need in life to clean & fix things are baking soda, vinegar, citrus, & rubberbands!

[@debrakelly2500]

Don't forget the sugar, :-)

[@patlewis2473]

Some of these don’t tell you what the ingredients are. Annoying.

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

@@patlewis2473 Or in what ratio to mix them.

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

God help you if your scratch or burn something badly because you got the ratios wrong! Guess I’ll still to buying products since these hacks are SO poorly shown.

[@exticketladygarry3525]

@@debrakelly2500 that was salt, Deb.

[@claudettemonty4077]

When you use a WHITE POWDER, can you write what is it: salt, sugar, baking soda, etc!

[@DeafGypsy]

Exactly my thought - it was confusing not to label what the white powder was - sugar? salt? baking soda? Be more specific and label each ingredient carefully.

[@carolynaitken7632]

Claudette Monty That’s just what I was thinking but I think it was salt because I know that hack with the iron it’s got to be salt 🧂

[@marinahoward5480]

My thoughts exactly. I think it switched from sugar to salt at the iron scene because scorching hot iron on sugar would not be wise.

[@joesull1796]

I agree, I was going to make the exact same comment but noticed yours. You wouldn't want to use the wrong stuff

[@frankmcloughlin3837]

[@oppaloopabetty551]

This is the best and most useful video on You tube. Thank You

[@noraang7335]

Thanks 4 your unselfish personality showing 2 viewers ur ideas; but, some were done thru me since elementary 2 present as well, maybe heavens given talents 4 some viewers seems they're right as being shared 4 others especially on emergency cases. Thanks too 4 photography teams helps u materialize these shown 2 many.

[@blondwiththewind]

5:33 ... Ha!!!! I invented that trick way back in the 1960s!!! Glad it caught on!!! :D

[@leahpatts6007]

[@bernadettecartin]

Anyway that one only works on that kind of handle. Regular round knob? Better stick with a key!

uh Duh.. I believe this was a hack for use in hotel rooms that use those kind of locks. what's wrong with your guys. Negative negative negative
