50 cent cord dispenser
not quite a hack, but if you're ever like linda, who gets her gift wrap ribbons tangled up, this is a nice way to keep your cords organised.
"i went to my favorite little thrift store and bought this glass sugar container for 50 cents. i had a hunch that the ikea string cording that i absolutely love would fit perfectly inside the container, enabling me to dispense the cording with ease as i wrapped a present. and it did! perfectly!"

How is this a $.50 IKEA hack? If the $.50 sugar dispenser were from IKEA, that would be an IKEA hack. This a $.50 thrift store hack, to contain an IKEA item.
ReplyDeleteAn old teapot can also make a good string dispenser. Place a ball of string int he pot and run the end through the spout.
ReplyDeleteI can't find the Jules chair and bases on ikea.com anymore! Is it discontinued?
