“Don't Throw It Away”: Lifehacks for Using Bread Clips

Bread is packaged, and each package has a polypropylene clip. But here's the bad news: these “clips” are almost never recycled, they are too small. They often get stuck in special crushers and shredders, so it's easier to extend their life by using them in everyday life, Ukr.Media informs.

Here are some brilliant ideas on how to use packing clips easily and simply.

No confusion

In this case, we are talking about cords – for a computer, various chargers or network cables. To prevent them from getting tangled under your feet or hands, feel free to use bread clips. They act like a regular thread or wire and do not give the cords any chance to tie into tight knots. In principle, this way you can store not only wires, but also shoelaces and even leftover yarn.

Tape marker clip

Scotch tape is a strange thing. By the time you find its beginning, you'll be a hundred times more sorry you didn't order a magnifying glass. Yes, the end of the sticky, transparent tape likes to play hide-and-seek with people. But just mark it with a bread clip – and life becomes much easier! Just clip the end of the tape with the clip and leave it there until the next time you need sticky tape.

Support for indoor plants

Some plants that are particularly showy require support in the form of small wooden sticks or trellises (for vines). However, how to attach your favorite flower to a support? Rubber bands and threads can harm very delicate creatures. Or over time, this material simply crumbles from exposure to sunlight and water droplets. Bread clips come to the rescue! They do not harm the stems and branches of plants, but they securely fix them to the support.

Easy cage lock

Hamsters, guinea pigs and parrots can easily get around a regular cage latch and break free at the most inopportune moment. You can, of course, use a small padlock, but the easiest way is to use bread clips. Catch them on the cage door in the right places, and the wayward bird or rodent will not be able to escape anywhere.

For direct purpose

Use bread clips for their intended purpose, i.e., to close other bags of cereals, nuts, flour, and other loose products.
