This information came to me in an email. These are not my clever ideas. Credit goes to whoever compiled this list originally. My notes are in ***red***.
Hull strawberries easily using a straw.
Rubbing a walnut over scratches in your furniture will disguise dings and scrapes. ***what if your stain color is not walnut***
Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or computer screen with WD40. ***Please check this out before you do it***
Stop cut apples browning in your child’s lunch box by securing with a rubber band.
Overhaul your linen cupboard, store bed linen sets inside one of their own pillowcases and there will be no more hunting through piles for a match. ***I do this but my cupboard still doesn’t look like this***
Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone & iPod in a bowl. The concave shape amplifies the music.
Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags. ***Great idea for in your car***
Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily, who knew?!
Attach a Velcro strip to the wall to store soft toys.
Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the floor. ***I am way too short for this one to be helpful***
Find tiny lost items like earrings by putting a stocking over the vacuum hose.
Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting
crosses into a box lid.
For those who can’t stand the scrunching and bunching: how to perfectly fold a fitted sheet.***Mine don’t look like that either*** 
Forever losing your bathroom essentials? Use magnetic strips to store bobby pins, tweezers and clippers, behind a vanity door.
***This one is a winner*** Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty soles rubbing on your clothes. And you can find them in just about every hotel. 
A muffin pan becomes a craft caddy. Magnets hold the plastic cups down to make them tip-resistant.
***Another winner***Bread tags make the perfect cord labels.
Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones, so much more fun and easier for kids to eat.
Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper bag. Much healthier and cheaper than the packet stuff.
Install a tension rod to hang your spray bottles.
***Oh I can’t wait to see what you will create in these***Turn your muffin pan upside down, bake cookie-dough over the top and voila, you have cookie bowls for fruit or ice-cream.
Freeze Aloe Vera in ice-cube trays for soothing sunburn relief.
Create a window-box veggie patch using guttering.
Use egg cartons to separate and store your
Christmas decorations.
