I have a super-simple tip for everyone. I used to always have to get down a small plate or glass to put my cooking spoons and other utensils while I'm cooking. I have found that the yellow plastic lid to a Nestle's Quick (Nesquick) container serves fine as a spoon rest. Also very easy to wash. Keep those Nesquick lids and give to friends. All good wishes.
Among other uses for these "office" clips, I've been using them for years to close potato chip and other snack packages; open bags of coffee beans, rice, beans; anything that comes in a plastic non-resealable bag like dry cereal, etc.; clipping notes to my backpack so I don't forget to do/take/get something; and creating "clip" art for amusement. You can clip many of them (and of various sizes) together into fantastic 3D objects. Have also used them as clamps when gluing stuff together. We used to have one hanging from the pull chain on our kitchen fan/light fixture. If you needed to leave a note that one couldn't miss for a member of the family, it was a perfect device as a note hanging from the kitchen light was very hard to miss!
@user-tb5rv3xh2h - It looks like it makes a lousy sanding block assembly, though. Glue a full sheet of sandpaper to a scrap board then use the table saw to cut it into useful sanding block sizes. Attached firmly and your hand has lots of gripping area, unlike the block shown here.
I'm thoroughly impressed by this video! The creative uses of a clerical clip demonstrated here are truly innovative. It goes to show that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Thanks for the insightful content!
The one i like most is using one of the handle in the soldering iron to mend plastic! But the rest are also excellent ideas. I love how thess videos are done without saying or showing a single word . Visually conveying every aspect of the hack.
Excellent for holding a place in a book. Cook books, reading books, adult coloring books, etc... Holding fabric for hand hemming. Interior bags of cereals & other food stuffs. Hundreds of uses.
Beautiful quilt, Natalie! Great tutorial!! I love how you display what appears to be a difficult quilt to make; then show us how easy it actually is! Love your videos!! ♥️😍
Bravo pour toutes ces astuces. Dommage qu'il n'y en ait pas plus. Mais' des idées perso me viennent à l'esprit étant bricoleuse, signe mamie de 84 ans'. Salutations.
When I self-publish my poetry books, I use these clips to hold the pages in place while I apply the binding to the spine of the book. They keep the pages evenly stacked, so the finished book looks really nice. I remove the clips once the binding is securely in place.
Tips for your books - don't hang them on hooks but listen to tips about using some clips which are fine for supporting the spine and fantastic for fixing some plastic !
I used two of them to fix the laptop I'm using to type this. The screen broke off at the hinges, the tiny screw holes in the plastic screen frame where it connects to the hinges wore out and the screen literally fell off. I use one on each side as a clamp to hold the screen frame tight to the hinges. I can't open or close the laptop but I've been using this fix for at least the last two years and it saved me a bundle on a new laptop. No way you could get a replacement plastic frame for the screen after all this time. So I'd say it's saved me a couple thousand new laptop at the very least.
We used to put them over the sights on a rifle--best fast sight there is. Clip on the device then fasten the handles up using a rubber band. Swing your rifle and fire as you pass the target between the handles if it is moving forwards, or just span the target between the handles and give it a burst if the light is poor.. If you have more time, look through the clip at the sights--they make a great hood for the factory sight.
Binder clips are great for changing duvet covers unassisted. Insert one corner at a time, clip each corner to hold them in place, then lift the duvet over your head from the middle and shake everything into place.
@@sophierobinson2738 _"Ever so much easier to just toss a sheet and a blanket on the bed."_ I hate to say this, honey, but you might not be smart enough to take care of yourself.
@@cisium1184 I think you may have been a little too quick to judge. I do the same and just toss mine on the bed, woman's job to finish it off. That is what I call taking care of myself.
@@cisium1184 Well, I'm not having to stuff a duvet in a cover. I've seen Red Dwarf. It's a pain to get the thing in the cover. A plain sheet for regular weather, a sheet and a blanket or quilt for cold weather. Just have to bother with pillow cases. Been taking care of myself for most of 70 years, baby doll.
I am old fashioned and still use a wall calender. I use that binder clip to hold the calender and hang. Often times the calender tears when using the little hole meant to hang on a nail.
I regularly use 3/4-inch-wide binder-clips to hold the knots on my shoe-laces tight. This hack almost always keeps the knots from becoming undone, even if I'm hiking in taller-than-lawn-cut grass. (Of course, with laced dress-shoes I don't do this, but I rarely have to wear those.)
Two uses to which I put them: 1-if put on the long part of a blanket and the blanket about the neck, the blanket becomes a cloak with the clip to hold even on both sides, and 2-if used on toothpaste or triple antibiotic tubes, etc., when some of the stuff from the tube is gone, the clip can be put on the end to take up slack and keep the tube tight.
It's true, those clips are very handy. I mostly use them for closing bags, like potato chips and other packages. I keep finding uses for them, so I keep different sizes handy.
Yeah, many good tips! 👌🏻. But, at 1:15 pl also ensure that the pliers is kept shock proof! Making those holes to put a metal spring could be pretty unsafe. I'm sure u understand 😊.
I use them to clip a recipe to the cabinet handle over the counter where I am making the recipe. Also for toothpaste tubes, book marks, clipping outside string lights to house for holidays or outdoor dining. Many uses
