U have the greatest 💡! I’ll be honest I lack the skill of figuring these out. I swear they r so easy and I would’ve never guessed! Thank u and keep em coming

[@cathyfloridagirl2867]

Hey Meagan ❤ great ideas as always so going to get me some of those round cell phone knows only you would comebup.with that clever idea! Im also a fan of those stackables

[@sheryllemons6093]

Great ideas

[@magee113]

Thanks Megan! You're awesome that way!!!

[@mzb1321]

[@dianadunham6691]

Reasons why I enjoy your videos: 1. Informative 2. Fast-paced 3. Not condescending

[@dieuphuongvu5433]

Totally, I’m a teacher and I absolutely hate it when hack videos condescendingly say “I’m going to teach you…”, I never use that phrase with my students 💁🏻‍♀️

[@Retired4Life-sz1fh]

​@dieuphuongvu5433 I like how she speaks as if she's having a conversation with us in person. A lot of How-To channels just narrate their actions. They just say "Now, I'm going to do this" or "Then I went back to do this" ... I can see what you're doing! Give me some helpful tips so I can recreate the look.

[@GlueGunsRoses]

I'm just glad proper grammar and a soothing voice aren't requirements for you to enjoy videos!

[@Annmarie-gd3fv]

I laughed at the "proper grammar and a soothing voice"! I don't hear anything wrong with your voice or grammar. As a matter of fact, as soon as I see your videos pop up, I click right on them. You have a matter of fact way, a well modulated voice and who doesn't make an occasional mistake? It's part of being human 😊. I know I'll always enjoy your content, learn new things, and have fun while watching!

[@jaynecollett7619]

@ DianaDunham6691 No annoying music playing constantly

[@debbiemcglaughlin3221]

One laundry bag per person, labeled with name! No more having to match socks!!!

[@magee113]

Moved from an almost 2000 square foot home to a 3 bedroom, 1200 square foot apartment. Thanks for some great hacks to help me out. Still up to my eyeballs in boxes but you helped give me a plan! Thanks Megan!!! ❤😊❤

[@michellehiggins9514]

So happy to see you back...miss your videos. Thank you!!

[@MrsBurns-xy7np]

A video like this from this channel is like an early Christmas for me. Thank you for helping us hopeless homeowners

[@daniherde4810]

❤Hi Megan!! Thanks for all the great 💡 ideas!! The felt pads for the cabinet doors and drawers, genius!! My husband always says,"You get annoyed with me when I don't close the cabinets but also get annoyed when I do close them and I make noise!! Can't win!" Problem solved!! So many great hacks that I need to make a shopping 🛍️ list and rewatch from the beginning!! LoL 😂!! Have a great weekend 🤗🕊️ God Bless You 🕊️🙏 you and your family 💗

[@joyswenson7941]

It's been a long time since I've seen a Dollar Tree hack/organizer video where my jaw has dropped so many times because most or all of the hacks are ones I could actually use! 😆 Well done, thank you!

[@amybuck2047]

I can't tell you how excited I was to see your new video. My mom always asks if you have a new video because you are our favorite.

[@maryellenyork2819]

I use tissue boxes in my sock drawer--free organization. I cut the long, skinny Priority Boxes in half, covered them in Contac Paper--perfect size for cans and jars in my pantry. Empty checkbook boxes are perfect for pens and markers. I line drawers with wrapping paper (often from opened wedding, birthday or shower gifts) and replace when dusty. (By running the paper up the sides, the wood stays dust free. The inside of my drawers still look new after 50+ years.) I keep my pony tail elastics on a shower ring. Hair clips and brooches clip to yarn braids or thick ribbons. Headbands wrap around a protein shake container.

[@dazem8]

I'm stealing the tissue box idea. I could never think of something to use it for besides organizing a few craft supplies. Thanks!

[@lanabanana6849]

Thank you for those excellent tips

[@sandysherk9834]

This was the best video ever! Now I need to go to Dollar Tree.

[@cass_p]

Using those little hooks to keep wire shelving in place is gonna be a game changer for me - thanks!

[@CMason-yr9ks]

I agee about the heavy-duty suction cups. In my bathroom, the sink is too far from the towel rod. So I use one of these on the mirror. It's beyond helpful, and I don't drip water all over the counter. 5⭐️ FORSURE! Thanks for so many helpful ideas.💜

[@GlueGunsRoses]

Agree! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But I'm wondering if there was a bad batch sent to some stores or if the suction cups don't work in certain climates because even in this comment section people are split on the quality suction cups. I am truly baffled because I've bought multiple of the suction hooks and they all work great.

[@dyoung2739]

Tfs❤. I like how your channel gets straight to the point.

[@stefanieb7776]

Not sure if someone already mentioned but use a blow dryer or heat gun to help loosen adhesive of those phone grips or off brand command hooks. So so happy your back with a video, miss your awesomeness ❤😊

[@rhondaroberts1591]

“Oooh, is this a new…YES OMG It’s a new one FROM MY FAVORITE!!” ~ me, about 30 seconds ago

[@jillifensty5110]

lol 😅I just thought the same thing . Didn’t yell it cuz the hubby would not understand

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Me, too, except I'm almost a week late to the party!

[@cdnchick1167]

Your Dollar Tree Hacks are the best on KZbin! Thank you!!!!!! :)

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Hi Megan! So happy you are posting more frequently again. Your tips and hacks are the best. Love your innovative ideas. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings.🤎🤎

[@FlyGirl-ji7kz]

I agree with you on the suction cups because I used them on my windows and my rod iron door that comes into my courtyard for memorial day and I’m leaving them up for Fourth of July. They’re holding up great and I live in Henderson Nevada where is very hot and been very windy and they’re going strong!

[@GlueGunsRoses]

I was shocked was I went online to get a screen grab of the suction cups that they had a lower rating! I felt like I was going crazy reading the reviews, because I have bought name brand suction hooks that cost more and don't work as well as DT. I'm glad you've had good luck with the suction hooks as well. MUCH LOVE TO YOU, MY FRIEND ❤️ -Megan

[@kchertz8925]

It makes my heart so happy when you put out a new video! I love your ideas on how to use some of these products. ❤

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

As always...so clever and creative.

[@catherinealvarado3258]

I love all your videos!!! I have alot of storage space in my home; large walk-in pantry, 10 foot island, several linen closets. The main reason I love my Texas home! But I need help organizing "my stuff!" This video is a huge help to me!! Thank you and keep'em coming ❤

[@jenniferrivera1707]

That hooks for cords idea is brilliant. I have a wireless charger, but I, also, have a cat that loves anything that looks like string to her. This is a nice way to hide it.

[@cathyboyd5545]

I love all your videos, but this one was particularly great. You gave us such good ideas for organization and storage. Thank you so much for taking the time to video all of your ideas.

[@evem4876]

I've never comment but , today watched this fantastic video ...😮 great ideas ty for sharing them with us 🌸

[@luminousblue]

Thank you! I love the socks-in-bag solution! And I use the magnetic hooks on the dryer too.

[@lovingmayberry307]

I just love your channel, Megan! You have so, so many great ideas!! I'm retired, but was getting a bit bored, so got a part time job at my local Dollar Tree!! LOVE IT!!! 💓💞💕

[@anitadoucette8086]

Thank you so much for the ideas and hacks! I needed this so much right now 🙌 I’ve always loved your videos because you have fantastic ideas and your down to earth personality makes you easy and fun to watch ♥️

[@sage_forensics_2261]

I recently put a few of those felt pads on the bottom (underside corners) of a couple of countertop kitchen appliances. It makes them so much easier to pull out, use, and move back out of the way. Also, I totally do the "sock trick" with the laundry bag; however, I hang clothes to dry in my apartment. Sorting in this way makes hanging go so much faster! So many great tips...I need to get busy, LOL! 🙏💜

[@gigilarigi3132]

No me, running out for supplies to organize my new home!!! Thank you, Ms Meagan!

[@Jessicalovesmichael]

You always have the best ideas that I *actually* use. Thank you!

[@OriginalAcefanatic]

Those battery operated lights are amazing!

[@GlueGunsRoses]

They really are!

[@judyanderson8782]

Pray you are and stay safe In all the bad weather in Texas. Thanks for the ideas in this video.

[@Rita-yw2tn]

I’ve used a lot of your organization hacks and I’m going to use some of these too because everything I’ve used from your ideas has always worked for me ! Thank you for sharing them with us Megan !!! 👏💞👏💞

[@deniseweinke9929]

Your vids are a bright spot in my day! You always make me smile with your comments. Great organization hacks too!

[@GGG.793]

I played the video not realizing it was you and when I heard your voice, I got so excited and then I had to check to see if there was a new one!! I’m so happy to hear your voice. I love all your mama pajam’s😂💞

[@jenniferbriski567]

These are the best ideas I've seen using dollar tree items - thank you!

[@georgiawild4332]

So many great ideas, but my biggest takeaway was the coffee stain. Why did I never think of that?! Thanks for the video, I've "saved" it for future reference because I always think I'll remember, but I never do, lol.

[@GlueGunsRoses]

It's my favorite way to stain wood a slightly darker natural color. I have many DIY videos with more detailed tips on the best way to use coffee, but the gist of it is : 1. Hot coffee works best 2. stronger the coffee, the darker the stain 3. Soak wood for 25 -35 minutes 4. If you want a darker stain, let wood dry out and re-soak wood in coffee

[@georgiawild4332]

@@GlueGunsRoses Thank you, this is very helpful! I don't drink coffee, but my husband does and sometimes gets some he thinks tastes like dirt, lol. Now i know what to do with it! One thing he discovered works with coffee grounds (out of desperation) is rubbing them on his skin to repel mosquitoes! He works on a golf course and was being plagued by them. He couldn't take it anymore and the grounds were all he had handy. He couldn't believe how well that worked.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@georgiawild4332 Thanks for the coffee grounds tip for mosquitos! I think they're only partly right when they say "Necessity is the mother of invention." I think pretty often Necessity's sister Desperation gives birth to a few stellar ideas!

[@emilyfox2072]

Love your hacks, they're always the most original. Not like others that I've seen over n over. ❤❤❤

[@sandilewis9706]

Megan Hi! I can't tell you how happy I am when I see you've posted a vid!! I love everything you do! Thank you so much.❣❣🙏

[@htownandi6263]

I have no idea which suggestion is my favorite. I loved them all.

[@karenwalker3233]

I live in Texas also and I feel like I know your!!!! Thank you for more great 😊DIY ideas!

[@0lotusbloom]

You have the most practical ideas! So many other dollar store hack videos are super unrealistic and far fetched (and ugly lol) but I appreciate this down to earth real life video. Amazing.

[@beths8998]

Excellent ideas!!! Thank you.

[@erob65]

Your Christmas lights are so pretty and cheerful ❤

[@theharbinger9400]

Always happy to a see a GG&R notification. Thanks, Megan!

[@Northernnine8878]

Blown away!! Wonderful ideas! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Megan. Great to see you girl. Loved all the hacks.T4S. Hope all is well with you and yours. Take care n God Bless. I love the mamma jamma word.🙏😘😘👍

[@lovethelordjesuspraisethel3286]

I am SO VLAD YOU ARE BACK!!..I enjoy the comment section too..APPRECIATE YA’s!!

[@mialyons8698]

Thank you so much for these ideas. Now I really want to organize and straighten my home.

[@trishpipkins]

I have no linen closets either. Who is designing these houses? Not real people. 🤣 I need to get the clip for the sock bag and use it for my reusable makeup erasers! I've not known where to keep those mesh bags so they don't get lost. That's genius to clip it to the laundry hamper!! Thank you! You just solved a problem that has irked me for years! 😄

[@heathermoore1985]

Sooooo, happy to see this video! Thanks sweetie you are the real MVP!!!

[@nanciephillips7750]

I always look forward to your organization ideas! So helpful!

[@peggymarsh6569]

That gardening book is the BEST isn’t it?

[@GlueGunsRoses]

It really is. Super detailed. It helped me get our lawn full and lush and helped me plan our front landscaping

[@elisabethdowd1869]

It happens every time a notification pops up ..... "oh, a Megan video" and I stop what I'm doing to watch. Then I say, more than once per video, "why didn't I think of that". I have the wall hooks; now to grab the wood plaques. I also need to replace the rubber bumpers in my kitchen. Felt pads to the rescue!!😊

[@atomictabasco1509]

Years ago I bought the 3 compartment containers for $8-$12 from a speciality store. I'm a more savvy shopper now.

[@pattyheinemann4129]

Love the idea about the laundry mesh bags. I have those for DIY in the garden, but I thought oh my goodness I can also use it for my socks when I do laundry😂 I love your idea about the little hooks for inside the kitchen cabinets shelving because I have those and you’re right they do slide and the over the hooks. They do scratch your door because mine is scratching and I’m gonna use that little hook idea. but I love the one the magnet hooks for washer for putting the fly swatter, and stuff like that. Great ideas as always.

[@tracyjohnson2992]

Hi Meghan, I hope you are doing well, this video had loads of fantastic thinking outside the box storage solutions for things i have just sitting around my home that i bought thinking i would find a solution for and never have until now. So a big thank you for that. Great ideas! You rock!

[@kimlarson7136]

Thank you. I picked your podcast because Glue Guns & Roses is a great name!

[@9catsandcraftsticks]

Great tips!! Lots I would have never thought of!! Thanks so much!!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

So good to see you, Megan! Great tips! I love to find different ways to use common items. Keep 'em coming! 💙

[@Angebaby1237]

Shannon these are some great tips!! I love pop sockets as hooks that would be great for the rv. When you’re not using them they tuck away and much softer for the hubby when he bangs his noggin! 😂❤

[@greatestever6738]

Your videos are the most practical that I have seen. My daughter loves hats now I have a new idea to help organize them. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

[@karenmorse7031]

So many great ideas!!!! My favorite is the magnets for Bobby pins-I can never find mine!!! I’ll be using your ideas in my home and especially in my RV. 😊

[@carypeterson9554]

Your channel and Fabed Hacks are my 2 most favorite DT videos! So many great and creative ideas!

[@GlueGunsRoses]

Fabed Hacks has an AMAZING channel and great realistic organization ideas people can actually use. I also love how she explains her ideas and gives different options for items to use with her DIYs.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

⁠Now I'm going to have another channel to keep track of!

[@Little1-ku9ng]

Watching this 1/2 I’ve done so many great ideas

[@suzannelebuis3520]

Oh my! It must of been so scary for you both to see your precious little one go through this. Thank God it was quick and non-invasive. Good it was found and remedied!! All the best to you all!❤❤❤

[@jillnieman1358]

I love the sock idea! I’m going to start doing that today!!!😊

[@lindakelly3164]

So glad that you made this video! More videos please!

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I use a carabiner clip for ponytail holders. They work great.

[@marieswearingen8678]

Thanks I love learning new ways to use handy things, some I’ve seen before but there were some new ideas I can use for organizing around the house . Yes I love when hubby say why don’t you use that & it’s been staring you in the face all along 😅😊

[@IOSARBX]

Glue Guns & Roses, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Be sure to go back through and binge on her other videos. And prepare to be amazed at her beautiful crafting and decor videos. Her holiday videos are the very best out there, IMO. Simple and don't have that, "Look! I made it myself!" look.

[@chriswedmore]

My Experience with the DT laundry bags is that they are so cheaply made they don’t make it through more than a couple washes. It’s more cost effective to spend a little more and buy better quality. Great idea for socks!

[@user-ii4xv8ks2d]

There are better laundry bags. However, D$ laundry bags have recently been improved.

[@susanlilley-rizos9906]

When I hear your voice I know it is guaranteed to be a fun and informative video. You are so cute.

[@whatlolawants2167]

Megan, I'm always so excited to see you have a new video!!♥️ I really got some helpful tips but I think the very best hack of all for me personally might be your husband's idea.😂.❤❤❤

Love the felt pad idea! I'm going to do this at my house and my sisters! Haha

[@jreyes1149]

Megan, as usual you hit it out of the park! I will be trying most of these😊

[@brenmanock]

Thanks and love your channel

[@mrskarenvaughnvoice3103]

I use the felt pads in all my kitchen cabinets and drawers. Be aware when they wear off they leave a sticky residue...I'm going to place hooks for the mesh bag on the inside laundry shoot door...metal squeeze paper clips work well for toothpaste tubes, and you can store the tube on a hook. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@StaceofCakes]

Always love your organization & storage ideas, Megan! I bought some of the smaller under-bed storage containers to use as packing cubes for suitcases. Excited to try them out!

[@gungamesschuf7irdrjklmcemi810]

Thanks Megan!! You alway have great ideas for DT hacks and I use many of them. Thanks for making my life easier. I am still looking for the acrylic ice buckets at my store and any stores I get to venture into. Some day it will happpen!!

[@GlueGunsRoses]

Hopefully your store will stock them for the summer! They are one of the best finds ❤️

[@traceymorton628]

Not sure how I've missed seeing your videos before now. But sure am glad I'm seeing them now! This was my first and OMG, I loved all your ideas! As you said, Why didn't I think of that? Well that's what you're for 😁 Getting ready to move into my first house and I'll be using probably all of these hacks! Thank you!!!!!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I've got to stop "saving" your videos for when I can truly enjoy them! I watch most things at 1.5 x speed and often I'm multitasking. There are a very few channels that I will watch only on Normal speed and only when I can sit and devote my time to watching because I enjoy them so much and don't want to miss a moment or a word. Your channel is one of those. But this time, I saved it and it slid down in my Notifications and sort of got lost. 😢 Today it hit me that I'd seen there was a video from you and I came straight in to sit down and watch. Just wanted you to know that waiting almost a week before I watch doesn't mean I don't care - it means I love you! But I'm determined to watch at least on the same day from now on! ❤

[@MamaHarriet]

Over the door hooks from Dollar Tree can sometimes snag certain fabrics since the end is blunt, not ball shaped. Solve this by visiting the stationery aisle and grabbing a package of those foamy-rubbery pastel cylinders that you slip over a pen or pencil so it is easier to grip. They fit snugly, prevent snags and serve to grip the fabric so the garment doesn't slide around.

[@lisafoote482]

The carwash mitts are great for applying body powder.
