I have a few of the smaller ones and love to use them. I'll have to check out the larger ones. Guess if I need a real large one, I can just go to the laundry room and get one out of the bag. lol

How I remember. Hanging clothes out to dry, having them freeze in the winter, get blown in the spring, sun-drenched in the summer and snappy in fall. They smelled so wonderful too. Now our zoning prohibits hanging clothes out on lines. Back then, we had no choice. Oh, we are old!!!!

Very cool!

I have used them for the last year, just love them. But I found mine at the dollar store, got 50 of them for $1.00. Very cost effective. Maybe your dollar store carries them also, look in the craft isle that's where I found mine. good luck

They are clothes pegs to us in the UK but they are handy for other uses.

Fivepaws, we used them as clothes pins too. I use new ones to close bags in the kitchen, potato chips etc. But we hung clothes out in all times except rain.lol. We took in laundry to make a quarter. Worked like crazy. But it didn't kill us.

They r clothes pins still. Should fine bags of them in landry dept. were the clothes baskets, landry hampers etc. r and should be a lot cheaper for buying them by the bags, but being they r mini may not be in that dept. I use to c them in crafts at Walmarts, haven't paid much attention lately.

i like those little metal hair clips that have been around for years to hold the binding .....the teardrop shaped ones that bend ...

I am just curious to know why they are kept in the stationary department?
