Finally, there’s a use for all those binder clips cluttering your junk drawer. In fact, once you see a few of these binder clip hacks, you will be using them all over the house. Whether you want to organize the kitchen or the craft room, binder clips are the unexpected and inexpensive solution.
With binder clips, you can tame unruly wires in the office or finally make sense of all the cords behind the TV stand. Binder clips also display your favorite photos on the wall without having to buy any picture frames. You can even turn a chaotic freezer into an organized arrangement of frozen vegetables, with just a few strategically placed clips.
Recipe display
Prevent food stains from splattering your recipe cards. Hang cards on the fridge so you can easily read them while keeping them safe from messy ingredients. Simply stick a magnet to the back of a binder clip, then slip the recipe into the clip, and hang it on the fridge.
Cord organizer
To prevent cords from becoming tangled behind a desk or TV stand, gather similar them together with a binder clip. Add a small label to the clip to help quickly identify cords. You could also shorten a cord to the length you need by looping up the excess wire and securing it with a clip.
Yarn holder
Crocheting and knitting aficionados will adore this clever hack. Place the yarn you’re using in a bowl, then attach a binder clip to the edge. The clip will keep the strand in place while the ball of yarn unwinds in the bowl. You will no longer have to chase yarn across the floor when you are in the middle of a knitting session.
Hot glue gun stand
Protect your tabletop by keeping your hot glue gun positioned upright with a binder clip. This also makes the handle easily accessible so you do not accidentally burn yourself when reaching for it. For even easier cleanup, set the clip on top of a paper plate or towel to catch any drips from the glue gun.
