Keep it open

Clothespins are perfect bookmarks and keep books open where you want them.

Give off fragrance

Unpleasant when it smells in the car. A simple wooden clothespin provides a remedy: sprinkle with a few drops of your favorite fragrance oil and then attach to the ventilation grooves of the car - and you have an effective fragrance dispenser.

Protect your hands

When hammering nails into the wall, hold the nail with a clothespin. That way, it won't hurt if you miss.
