THREAD. Here are some of my favorite #MacGyver hacks - most of them you can easily do yourself. These could also make great projects for kids.
2. For each hack, I will give two scores. Difficulty (D) from 0-10. A 0 difficulty means you already did it and a 10 means you will probably mess up a couple of times.
