A Q-Tips® product for all of life's unexpected moments
#QTIPSHACKS are here for all those extra creative solutions for all of life's little problems.
DIY WATERPROOF BATHROOM TRAY
Grab an enamel tray and line up Q-tips® in a chevron pattern adding glue to the ends of the swabs. Let the design dry fully. Next, add in Mod Podge to fill in the base of the tray until all of the Q-tips® are covered. Release any bubbles and let it dry for a nice, smooth layer to set products on.
EASY PRINCESS MAKEUP
CREATE Q-TIPS BLOCKS
PAINT CONFETTI PLATES
Grab Q-tips® cotton swabs to paint colorful dots and lines for a fun party effect on plates! When finished, let the pattern dry completely and then spray with a finishing coat of Mod Podge so you have a food-safe surface.
DISPOSABLE EYE SHADOW BRUSHES
CLEAN THE GROOVES OF TINY SHOES
Q-tips® cotton swabs are the perfect size for removing dirt from your baby’s tiny shoes. Press firmly in the grips of the shoe to remove excess dirt and particles picked up from walking around the house and outside.
KEEP YOUR POUT IN PLACE
Keep lip color from bleeding by using Q-tips® cotton swabs to apply loose translucent powder along the outer edge of the lips.
KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SPOTLESS
CREATE A CUSTOM NAIL COLOR WITH EYE SHADOW
Crumple pigments of shadow into any nail polish color. Mix with a Q-tips® cotton swab and apply your new DIY color via Q-tips®!
A FLAKE-LESS FINISH
Fold a Q-tips® Beauty Round in half, creating a semi-circle shape, and place under your eye when applying eye shadow. This catches the unwanted excess shimmery flakes that fall under eyes.
CLEAN INDOOR HOUSEPLANTS
Q-TIPS® AS COLLAR STAYS
One of our favorite hacks – substitute Q-tips® cotton swabs as collar stays to keep the collars of your shirt crisp.
DIY Wrapping Paper
Rather than running out for wrapping paper, detail your own on brown craft paper using Q-tips® cotton swabs as paintbrushes for a personal touch.
PAPER GARLAND
Use Q-tips® to paint a design onto watercolor paper. Once the paper is dry, divide it into a grid of squares cutting them out individually. Next, cut out an indented “V” shape from the bottom of each square. Hole punch the tops of each square at the top corners and string through the holes with yarn to hang.
KEEP NAIL POLISH BOTTLES CLEAN
Apply a coat of vegetable oil around the rim of your nail polish bottles with Q-tips® Precision Tips™ to keep the polish from getting the tops stuck.
BOW AND ARROW TOY
Nail the bulls-eye with this craft for kids using Q-tips® Precision Tips™. To create the bow, soak a popsicle stick in cold water for an hour to make it bend easily. Then cut two notches in each end and tie fishing wire around as the string. The Precision Tips™ are the ideal DIY arrows for kids.
