Catch drilling dust with a Post it
![Catch drilling dust with a post-it illustration: with one fold along its length, a post-it note is stuck to the wall creating a little shelf to catch all the dust from a drill boring a hole in the wall just above.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.prismic.io%2Fsketchplanations%2F32b3177d-28d8-48bb-b2ba-2f77dbf5c13e_168120197011.jpg%3Fauto%3Dcompress%2Cformat&w=3840&q=75)

For a super simple way to avoid making a mess when drilling into walls.
Louise, sent me this to try as another method:
So my Dad has half a tennis ball with a hole through it. Drill bit goes through hole. Tennis ball hemisphere presses against wall on flat side. All dust goes into ball. When he pulls it out he holds upwards then tips into bin.
Smart.
