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.

I think I am going to be buying some of these :), I use the hair clips right now but I like this idea better, thanks for sharing!

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.

I was beginning to wonder if I was the oldest one reading this post! Was expecting to see a new invention of some sort lol
