[Texasmujer]

WIRE BASKET: Hang the three-level variety in the bathroom for washcloths and soap or in the kids' room as a catch-all for their small toys and art supplies.

SHOE BAGS: Use them in the garage to store tools, fishing lures and golf balls. Behind the kitchen door, store spices, baking utensils, etc., or fill with hats, mittens, toys.

WIRE HANGERS: Tightly tape together two or more to make them super strong.

GOLF BAG: Use an old golf bag to haul yard tools. The pockets are perfect for small tools and garden gloves. Even if you don't use the bag for hauling tools, it makes a great place to store them.

PHOTOCOPIES: Write notes, send faxes, etc. on the backs of old photocopied pages. Keep them handy in a tray marked "scrap."
