Rubberband
Something as simple as a rubber band can make a huge difference when you’re doing some painting. Wrap a rubber band around the paint can you’re using, and make sure it goes across the top, right down the middle. The way this will help is by allowing you to wipe your brush on the band to remove any excess paint. Not to mention, it will keep the edges of the can clean and keep you from wasting paint.
Straws
The solution to tangled jewelry while traveling is simpler and cheaper than you might think. The only thing you need is straws. When you’re packing, just thread your necklaces through straws and then you won’t need to worry about then getting knotted!
