Save Your Countertop From DIY Messes With A Savvy Aluminum Foil Hack
By CHRISTY RAE AMMONS
Protecting your countertops and other work surfaces from the inevitable messes of DIY and crafting projects is simpler than you might think, thanks to a clever aluminum foil hack.
To implement this hack, unroll enough aluminum foil to cover the desired surface entirely. If required, use additional strips to ensure everything is completely covered.
For enhanced stability, use painter's tape to secure sections of foil that overlap. Alternatively, you can bunch up or tape down the edges to prevent the foil from slipping.
This hack proves invaluable for various applications, such as shielding doorknobs from inadvertent paint splashes or preventing hot glue from seeping into your work surface.
When it comes to cleanup, the method shines, even with materials like glitter. Just lift the corners of the foil and wrap it into a ball, trapping all the spills and messes inside.
