To make a line of screws, start with the one in the middle. Knock it down with a hammer, and then go out from there, one by one. Start with one screw on either side of the middle one, and then go out with the other screws from there. This will help you space the screws out and make them evenly spread apart (Facebook).
If you recently made something you’re proud of, but can’t stand the sight of the screw, there’s a fix for that. After you put the screw in the wood, fill the rest of the hole with glue. Grab a few pieces of wood chippings and fill up the hole until it’s covered. Once the glue settles, it’ll secure the wood chips inside the hole, which has now disappeared. It’s almost like magic!

If you’ve ever felt stumped with how to make different-sized holes in your wall, then we’re here to help. All you need to do is grab two lids off the top of the jars of your favorite jam or peanut butter. One lid will have one small hole in the middle and one larger hole on the outside. The other lid will have six different-sized screw holes. Using tape and one screw, place them together with the screw binding them together in the middle. You can use this as a measuring tool to drill different-sized holes into your wall, without having to worry about drilling too much or too little (Facebook).
If you need more than one screw in a piece of wood, don’t fret. This viral wizard gave us a simple, easy trick for that. All you need to do is grab three tiny screws with pliers, set them up evenly on the wood, and knock them down with a hammer (Facebook).
You’ll want to use a piece of cardboard to put a screw into a tiny space or crevice. It’s the simplest trick in the book that will save you the most amount of time and frustration.

To get the perfect shape of something, all you have to do is use a glass cutter. Then, once you’re in a safe place, smash the glass to break off the unneeded pieces and create a piece of glass in the shape you want. If you want a piece of glass with a square shape in the middle, then use a glass cutter to make that smaller square shape and smash out the glass around it (Facebook).
If you’ve ever wanted to hang a precious painting, but realized you didn’t have a screw, there’s a solution for that. Instead of throwing your hands in the air and heading to the store, do this instead. Grab a lid from a can of Coca-Cola and place it on the back of the painting. That’s it! It works like a charm and will hold your painting in place (Facebook).
