What happens here

To avoid losing small hardware like screws, create a temporary container using a piece of brown masking paper and Frog Tape. Tear off a piece of paper, fold it in half, and tape the long edge and one short edge with Frog Tape, creating a pocket. Label the container with the contents and location (e.g., "6 cup hooks, bedroom #2"). Drop the screws or other hardware inside. This keeps them organized and easily identifiable, preventing loss on the job site.

Goal: Organize and prevent the loss of small hardware during a project.

  • Hand-masker — Dispensing paper and tape
  • Marker — Labeling the containers
  • Brown Masking Paper — Creating the containers
  • Frog Tape FrogTape — Sealing the paper to form pockets

there's nothing more frustrating than looking for screws that you need when you're on a job site and you can't find them i've got a really cool hack for you and that is using a paper masker to make a container for your screws so they won't be lost and you can find them very simply and easily i just take rip off a piece of paper and i take and fold it over right here so the two sides of the tape that got the adhesive touch together i'm gonna fold it over right there and then i'm gonna take the end right here where they're on tacked together i'm gonna fold that over right there and then i'm going to tack that down with tape and that's going to seal these sides to the container right here and then it has a simple little opening right here now i can just drop in my screws or whatever i need to seal inside there i'm gonna drop those down in there and then because it is paper it's easy to just write what's on there there's six cup hooks i'll just write six cup hooks and i like to just write where they came from they came from the bedroom number two that way we know what's in there and how many are in there and then i'll just take the top of the container fold it over and this makes a handy little container that you can store things in so they won't get lost now i'm just going to toss these into a five gallon bucket and if i have several of them i can just pull them out it tells me exactly what's in there now i can just easily open it up take out what i need if i'm only going to take out a certain amount i can just tear that and then reach and then fold that over and reseal that and continue using it again simple little hack using paper and
