Next time you’re at the dollar store, you might want to pick up a package (or 7) of clothespins. Whether you have a clothesline or not, you need these things in your life. As you’re about to learn, they’re good for all kinds of different life hacks. Here are 11 funky things you can do with plain old clothespins.

1. Hang Your Scarves

Your favorite fashion accessory can be held beautifully in place with clothespins. Glue a bunch to a board (you can paint it or cover it in contact paper) and voila…you’ve got a scarf display piece.

2. Clippy Magnets

Yes, “clippy” magnets are a thing, especially if you have some clothespins and washi tape handy. Simply cover one side of the clothespin and stick a magnetic strip on the back. Super cute and functional!

7. Pants Hanger

Run out of those hangers with the clips on them? No problem. Grab a regular hanger and clip your pants or skirt right on there.

8. Keep Mail in Check

Mail. It’s a mess! Rather than sorting it in to piles, use clothespins to keep different categories of mail together. You could even use the magnet trick above and hang it all on the fridge. Label the pins so you know just what you’re looking at.
