Lifehacks for the most part are very simple, so absolutely everyone can use them. This collection contains ideas that will help in a wide variety of situations, ranging from repairs furniture, and ending with plant care. Although you will definitely need a couple of them.
1. Hidden furniture joint with nails
To make a hidden connection between two parts at right angles, drive several nails into one of them. Then cut off their caps with tin snips or side cutters. As a result, the length of the protruding rods should be less than the thickness of the second workpiece.
Apply glue to the end of the part with nails. Then attach the second workpiece and push it in with a soft mallet.
2. How to properly trim the spout of a tube with sealant
The shape of the sealant seam directly depends on the tube spout. If it is smooth, then the silicone does not adhere well.
Cut the spout at an angle. The sealant will then come out and adhere to the surface more evenly.
3. Repair of furniture hinges in chipboard
A torn furniture hinge can be repaired with matches. They must be driven into holes with broken threads. After this, the self-tapping screw will screw into them much more tightly.
4. Use of old keys
Old lock keys can be used instead of nuts for self-tapping screws. More precisely, we use only a round handle, and break off the excess.
5. Original wiring fastening
If you don't have a herringbone dowel for wiring, then take a piece of insulated wire and bend it in half. Insert the double end into the hole in the wall. Then spread the edges of the wire.
A self-tapping screw is screwed into this hole. After this, we fasten the residential cable. All you have to do is bite off the excess, and the mount is ready.
6. Wall mounting of wiring with cable ties
Take two cable ties and secure them to a nail or screw with the third one. Then we nail them to the wall, or screw them in.
Ties secured in this way allow you to secure two wires in parallel. This method is very good when laying wiring on wooden surfaces.
7. Razor blade boiler
To boil water, take two blades and connect them with a pair of wooden dowels. Attach the cable wires with a plug to their ends.
Then place this boiler in water and plug it into a power outlet. As a result, boiling will occur very quickly. The only thing is that the blades quickly rust after this, so you won’t be able to use them for a long time.
Attention: this method is dangerous to life and its repetition is not recommended!
8. Drilling with spark plug flare
You can drill a hole in the metal using spark plugs. Simply clamp it into the chuck of a machine or drill instead of a drill.

9. How to make a large cable tie from several short ones
To secure something large, you can attach several cable ties together. As a result, it is possible to splice a clamp of any circumference.
10. How to start a fire with foil
You can start a fire using foil from chewing gum or cigarettes. That is, any that has a paper base on one side. An hourglass-shaped piece is cut out of foil.
Now if you apply its ends with the foil side to a AA battery, the paper will flare up in the thinnest place. Be sure to prepare kindling in advance, which will light from the foil.
11. Original folding hanger
To make a hanger, you need to cut 11 short square bars. They are made approximately 30 cm long and 15-20 mm wide.
The ends of five bars must be cut at 45 degrees. Then all the workpieces are painted or impregnated with oil. Next, we put them together and string them on one side onto a metal axis, through the previously drilled holes.
Next, we screw two transverse slats to the bars with straight ends. After this, we cut off the protruding part of the metal axis.
All that remains is to screw the hanger to the wall. Now, if you need to hang something on it, we discard one of the oblique bars.
12. Drip watering for indoor plants
You need to burn a thin hole in the bottle cap. A large hole is also made in the bottom of the bottle. Half of the ear stick is inserted into the lid.
Then we tape the legs of bamboo skewers to the bottle with electrical tape or tape. Now fill the bottle with water and stick its legs into the pot with the plant. The water will drip a little through the cotton wool on the stick, feeding the plant.
