The Simplest Way to Make Homemade Caramel

Having caramel, or dulce to leche, around the house may be something that people strive to achieve.

Put it all together in a pot and you'll soon have a full container of delicious caramel.

Look up an exact recipe for this before you go and try it just to make sure that you're doing it right. But the results will be delicious if done right!

A Tennis Ball for Many Different Purposes

Most people think that tennis balls serve just a few purposes. They can be used, obviously, to play tennis. But they can also be used on the bottom of a walker or as a doy toy. But you probably never thought of them for this purpose. They can be used to hold and hang things, all with a cute face. All you need is to slice a line across the center of the ball and voila.

This is not only functional but also inexpensive and cute. If you add on some eyes, it makes for an every quirkier and fun decoration.

The Best Use for a Carabiner

Who would have thought that a carabiner (also known as a climbing clip) could come in so handy? If you ever wondered if there was an easier way to carry all your grocery bags inside without having to take multiple trips, you are in luck if you have a carabiner. You can just attach all the bags to the clip and carry them in one fell swoop. Easy peasy.

It also reduces the risk of the bags breaking in the process and it frees your hands to open the door or carry other things at the same time.

Make Your Own Personal Plane Screen

Airplane rides can be quite an exhausting experience, especially if you are flying with a budget airline. The conditions are not ideal, the seats are small, you have no leg room, and you don't have an actual screen of your own. Don't worry, though, because there is a hack at least for the last part on the list. If you want your own personal screen, you can bring a small baggie that fits your phone and hang it from the tray.

It might not offer the best views as your screen is covered in plastic, but it is better than having to hold the phone the entire time that you are watching a show.

A Zen Garden in Your Bathtub

This is a rather specific hack for those who are looking to create a garden indoors that they do not have to water often. If you happen to have a bathtub that is not in use, you can fill it with plants and then create a garden that you don't have to maintain very much. All you have to do is shower and let the steam do its work in watering the plants.

The biggest downside to this is that you have to be willing to lose your bathtub in this process as it will become your garden instead.

Use Cardboard Boxes to Keep Classrooms Clean

What is an easy and inexpensive way to keep things clean around the house or the classroom? A cardboard box is definitely the answer. As they can be found for free, you can't complain especially when you learn how useful they can be. If you want to keep pencil shavings to a minimum, then you can put a box underneath the pencil sharpener in your classroom and let it collect all the shavings.

Once a day you can empty out the shavings, or even once a week or a month depending on the size of the box. It's easy, simple, and keeps things tidy.

When You Are Too Lazy to Walk While Walking the Dog

Some people get a dog so that they will be forced to exercise more regularly. Some people then regret that decision and want to come up with a solution to minimize their need to walk as much, while still making sure the dog exercises. Enter the golf cart dog walking system. You can sit in the golf cart while the dog walks next to you. Minimal effort from you, maximum for the dog.

This is also great if you have any sort of injury that prevents you from walking properly or quickly. Your dog can still run and exercise and you can still sit and recover.
