Many of our parents never threw anything out that could be used again for something new. Along with rubber bands, twist ties, and buttons, bread bag clips are one of those things that it seems strange to throw away. And, by the way, they’re called occlupanids!
Maybe you’ve already got a few uses for them. If you’re someone who keeps a stash of these little guys then this post is for you. Here are 11 clever ways to reuse bread bag clips that will justify keeping them all this time!
11) Wine Charms
They might not be the most glamorous wine charms we’ve ever seen, but they certainly will do the trick. And, if you don’t have guests over for wine very often it might not make sense to invest in a set of wine charms when these little clips can do the job for a night.
10) Keep Tape Started
Better than crinkling up the end, keeping a bag clip on the end of a roll of tape can mean you waste less tape in the long run. Plus, it looks a lot neater, too.
9) Repair Flip Flops
