I tell my husband about some of the odds-and-ends ideas we come up with here - - - and he just grins and shakes his head at me.

Good idea. Some of the packaging today is so hard to get into, you'd think it was from Fort Knox.

I bet it is the perfect size. I'll be trying that one next time I can't open a package.

I use a pin to open those nasty packages. It works great too.

Great Idea! I also use my old seam rippers to "clean" lint and fuzz from Velcro.

Great idea. Wished I had thought of using that on the last package I had to fight like crazy to get open. Now I know what to use to get that sealeded package open next time.
