Mess-free drilling into walls

DIY, DIY Basics

If you’ve ever screwed something into a wall, wether it be drywall or plaster, you know how messy it can be with all the dust falling on the floor. So when I was installing a French cleat on the wall for my latest project (a banquette bench with an upholstered back panel), I decided to try an easy trick I had seen on Pinterest to keep my floor dust-free: folding a post-it note in half and sticking it under the place where the screw goes in. 

The folded post-it note worked like a charm, catching the majority of the dust. This is definitely something I’ll be doing from now on!
