I totally do this! I can’t stand when someone tries to “sell” me a chip clip for upwards of 2 – 4 dollars! Clothes pins are way better! Love your fun blog!

Paint some different colors, put a piece of magnet tape on the back and you have a nice magnetic clips for the refrigerator.

They are great to use for kid’s crafts, too. The ones that are not hinged make cute wooden people.

I so do this too! If I get really desperate I’ll use paper clips also.

I love a great idea that is such a common item. Of course cloths pins make great clips! Duh!

I have used paperclips when I’ve needed a clip in the car!

But I go out and buy “chip clips” because they are designed for a specific purpose. I haven’t bought any in years, but you have converted me. I won’t buy them again. pinky swear lol

**Too many mistakes in the previous post – so I deleted and edited LOL

Have a great day!

We do the same thing! Today, as I clipped a bag of chips, I thought about sharing the idea on WFMW. Now I don’t have too. :)
