    Love your clothespin ideas – especially the magnets for the fridge (or other places) and the place setting cards. So cute – especially with the glitter tape or diamond ribbon! I’ll be doing these! (They’d be cute with a small spring flower in the clip for place cards, too – or a little foam rabbit!

    Weโ€™ve used clothes pins for years all around our house. Especially outside on the clothes line… they are great to hold your coupons also. When our son moved out and I was โ€œtransformingโ€ his room I must have found 30 clothes pins. He would take a bag of pretzels etc. up stairs and never return the clothes pins we used as bag clips.

      Thanks Kathy and I love that story about your son, thanks for sharing. My teen son wants an overhaul on his room and I just know I’m about to find a ton of clothespins in his room for the exact same reason ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Kathy! I grew up with a clothes line before we had a dryer. I want one again as I love sheets that have be dried in the sun. My yard is small compared to many and trying to find a good spot for one. ?

    I love the uses for clothespins. I always keep a few in my suitcase. When I travel to hotels that don’t have curtains that meet in the middle, I pull out my clothespins to get a tighter fit, eliminating the light that was coming through. They’re so useful! I need to buy a new supply since they always disappear as my chip clips. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Chas, love these ideas! I use wooden clothespins to close bags every day, but they’re not decorated! I especially like the place card holder. #BloggersPitStop

    Hi Chas, I really enjoy watching the projects you make. They are simple enough for me to try. I don’t have a lot of time because I work but when I do I always think of your projects. I go by Lynn. I live near Greenville, North Carolina.

    Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great weekend.penn
