Look how you can re-cycle bread clips...use them as cable labels. My DD posted this on her facebook page & I thought it was neat.

HEY, great idea!!! thanks. of course i just tossed one.

I have done this to all my sewing cords in my sewing room so far and next time I pull out my computer I will do all the cords to it. It works real nice and they don't get lost.

Great idea. I've been using masking tape around the cords. This looks simpler and clearer.

Almost spent $7 the week on plastic labels. Theses are free! Time to replace the address labels I use now. TFS

great ides! I have to start saving those doo-hickies now

That IS a great idea!! Kind of makes you sl@p the side of your face and say "duh"!! TFS!!

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TFS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really like this idea, might work really well for labeling things for the retreat. Hmmmm I had some of those I was keeping to see if could do a craft project with them...now where did I put those. The last couple bread got had the twist ties.

Thanks for the tip, Nicki. I just showed it to DH and he thought that was just really neat.

If you have any extra put one on the end of the scotch tape, masking tape, painters tape etc. Makes it easier to find the end next time. Also works well to pull the tape off the roll.

That's another great tip to use them. Thanks, sewnso.

Whata neat idea...too cool TFS

Your DD is a GENIUS! Has she sent this in to Nancy's Notions? She should,She will probably get a prize. Good Luck!

I save them to scrape off spills on my glass cooktop before cleaning. The plastic won't scar the top.

Yes another thing I use them for is to scrape "goop" off the floor when I'm washing it.
Actually I've used in on my reg counter tops too. The now scratching factor plays a big part for me. I especially like the ones that come on the Potato bags....they are nice and big. lol

If I stuck those clips on my cords, what would my cats use to play hockey on the kitchen floor?

And if anyone needs clips, I probably have 634681374 of them under my fridge...you have to dig them out by yourselves, though. But the cats will no doubt try to help.

LOL @ starry
Great tip!! I use one occasionally to hold two different threads together when I am knitting or crocheting. Sorta keeps the yarn 'together'.
