One of my more favorite craft aides are clothespins. There are so many uses for these little wonders.
I not only use them for holding crafts together while I’m working on them or gluing them together, I also use them everyday as bag clips for chips and most every bag in my kitchen and even to the bag in the cereal box, just to help keep it fresher.
Clothespins make dandy refrigerator clips for lists and thing.
They’re easy to make.
1: Glue a couple of magnets to the back.
*I use hot glue, but tacky glue or school glues would work too, just be sure to allow them time to dry.
2: Decorate the front.
3: Now your it’s ready to be given as a gift or hung on your refrigerator to hold lists, pictures, or little lightweight notes.
Hello there…I also use clothes pegs to close packets…actually I never use them for actually hanging out clothes…those I just put on a clothes horse to dry…so much easier….as for ironing…I THINK I have an iron somewhere!!!!
Hello Granny,
When I was a child my Mom had clothes lines and loved the smell of clothes dries outside. Not me, I’m a modern old gal. lol They are handy. I don’t think I’ve used clothespins for laundry but maybe a couple of times.
My iron, well I use it for crafts mostly and rarely use it for actually ironing clothes. lol
