5 Garage & Entryway Hacks With Things You Already Own

Five safe ways to turn a dishpan, muffin pan, paper tubes, reused containers, and a milk jug into practical garage and entryway organizers.

Five ways to make the doorway and garage easier to reset using containers, paper tubes, and one empty milk jug. Every idea avoids power tools; the jug uses hand scissors, and the cord method is limited to light-duty cords.
Dishpan launch pad. Give each person one clean dishpan on an entryway shelf or bench for keys, mail, and other out-the-door essentials. 1
Muffin-pan parts sorter. A clean muffin pan turns shallow cups into visible homes for screws, washers, nuts, and bolts. 2
Paper-tube cord keeper. Slide a light-duty extension cord into a toilet-paper or paper-towel tube, then write the cord length on the tube. 2
Clean jar storage. Washed glass and plastic containers make clear bins for small shop supplies, especially when each one is labeled. 2
Milk-jug scoop. A cleaned milk jug can become a scoop for potting soil or pet food; smooth every cut edge before using it. 2
