Sometimes the smallest and lowliest products are taken for granted, and yet where would we be without them?  This week, we're proud to present, 25 Uses for Paper Clips!

1.    Replacement for a zipper tab that has broken off.

2.    Fingernail cleaners.

3.    Christmas ornament holders.

4.    Use to unclog the Elmer’s glue bottle.

5.    Cherry pit removers.

6.   As a substitute for the “thingy” that holds the Scotch tape in thedispenser.  (Actually, if you have accidentally thrown that “thingy”away, we have replacements in stock for just 59 cents.)

7.    Emergency tie tack – use Jumbo paper clips for this.

8.    Inexpensive ear or body piercing tool.

9.    Inexpensive ear or body ring.

10.    Nose weight for paper airplanes.

11.    String them on string or wire and use to hold your Christmas cards.

12.    Give a whole box to a child and let him/her string them together.

13.    Use the string that the child made as garland on your Christmas tree.

20.    Make tiny tongs to remove the veggies you don’t like from the soup.

25.    Take a box to the beach and scatter them to drive the guys with metal detectors crazy.
