My Top Ten Uses for Wooden Clothespins

I’m sure all of us have clothespins lying around the house. Why not put those clothespins to good use. I have found ten uses for wooden clothespins around the house. I found these really cute clothespins at Michael’s for a dollar a pack.  I thought they were so cute!  I was planning on decorating plain ones with washi tape or paint.  I know  I will want to decorate some with washi tape in the future.

These are my top ten uses for wooden clothespins:

1.  Use them to close snack bags such as crackers or chips. They come in so handy! I have a whole drawer of them, so they’re never hard to find. There is no excuse not to have the chip bag closed!

2. Use decorative ones to close treat bags.  Here’s a great example from Party Perfect. Aren’t they adorable!

3.  Use them for lost socks in the laundry room. You can make a wooden sign and glue the clothespins onto the sign. You can then hang it on the laundry room wall.

4.  Glue some on the inside of a kitchen cabinet to hang towels and rubber gloves. this is one of my favorite ideas!

5.Put a magnet on the back and use it as a fridge magnet. You can use it to hold your grocery list or coupons!

6.  String some inside a frame and use to hang pictures.  You can change them easily.  Here’s one from It’s Overflowing. All you need is a frame and some string.
