    Off the clothes line to the quilting room , I use clothes pins for so many things they are a great invention from years gone by.

    Great idea and frugal. Like annpryor says, we used to call them clothespins. I'm old enough to remember hanging clothes out on a clothes line using clothespins that were held in a bag that resembled a cute dress. My Mom often hung the sheets out in winter, bringing them back in and hanging them by clotheslines in a warm room in the house, they always smelled so wonderful.

    Line dried sheets are great, but not towels. Course I guess they're good for exfoliating! Ha

    I'm glad that others remember them as 'clothes pins'. LOL

    Clever idea.

    They can be used for a fun game with a large gathering. The object of the game is to attach one to someone's clothing without them noticing.
