If you're taking down you Christmas decorations soon, this could be the handy tip you need to hear.
There's not much worse than coming to decorate the tree to find the fairy lights have become a huge knotted mess in storage.
But hours spend unravelling wires could be a thing of the past thanks to one woman's unique and frankly genius way of stopping them from tangling up.
Taking to social media, she revealed how using an empty Pringles tube can keep the lights neat and knot-free ready for next Christmas.
The woman posted her cheap and eco-friendly solution on the 1m-member Facebook group Extreme Coupling and Bargains UK.
In a discussion about tips for taking down Christmas decorations she wrote: “Discovered a bargain way to keep your lights untangled.
“I taped the lid on an empty tube of Pringles. Taped the end of the lights to one end. Wrapped the lights round as I took the lights off the tree.
“Taped the other end on. Works perfectly.”
The innovative idea was met with applause from other group members.
One fan said: Ohhhh that’s a good reason to go buy Pringles.”
Another added: “Pringles tubes are fab, I make a small hole in the lid to insert the plug.”
One wrote: "Would love to see a video of it - I have 500 lights dreading taking them down."
Not only is the trick handy, it also helps make use of waste product,as at present Pringles cans cannot be recycled along with other household waste.
This is due to the complicated mixture of materials the product is made from.
