Use square knots for straps, slipknots for adjustable hangers, and simple over-under weaving to strengthen baskets made from cardboard strips. Old T-shirts become durable cord when stretched; braid three strands for strength. Everything unfastens without damage, inviting revisions, seasonal swaps, and quick repairs even when time is tight and tools are unavailable.
Create crisp trays by folding cereal box panels; reinforce edges with snug fabric wraps that add friction. Tuck flaps inside to lock shapes without tape, then line with magazine pages for a splash of color. This quiet engineering turns flimsy materials sturdy by multiplying layers where pressure naturally travels and settles.
Painter’s tape, washi, removable strips, and reusable putty provide reliable hold while respecting walls and finishes. A small dab, well-placed, often beats a heavy bead.
