Why do I always have paper clips in my purse Bashny.Net

Well done, after all, was Louis E. Baltzley, who in 1910 invented the familiar paper clips.



This simple device is called a clothespin, a large paper clip, a binder, a crocodile, and a handbag clip (it looks like a handbag if you fold the handles). You can use stationery clips anywhere. I would even say that in terms of versatility, they give a hundred points head start to the famous Swiss knife.





Little steel assistants of different colors and sizes have been working in offices around the world for over a hundred years, and we will tell you how they can be used in everyday life.

Paper clips

1. Smartphone stand
   Today, a smartphone is a TV, a book, a game console, and a photo album. We use it more and more, often at the table. And sometimes it is not very convenient to hold the device with your hands.
   
   
   
   You can, of course, buy a special stand, but it will be cheaper to make it from office clips.
   
   
   
   
   
   There are many design options, and the photo is one of the simplest.
   
   
2. Headphone holder
   While scientists are racking their brains over the headphones' amazing ability to instantly tie into a knot, we offer a simple solution to the problem.
   
   
   
   You will need a binder paperclip. The headphones will need to be threaded into its fastening block, the cord will be wound around the handles, and the connector will be threaded into their ears.
   
   
3. Clip for tubes with cosmetics
   When the toothpaste or cream in the tube comes to an end, it becomes inconvenient to squeeze out the remains.
   
   
   
   Cutting open the tube is not always a good idea. But you can roll it up with a tube and clamp the edge with a binder.
   
   
4. Cord stopper
   Working at a computer, we are often faced with the need to insert and remove a variety of cords. If you do not hold them at the same time, they still strive to slip out of your hands.
   
   
   
   Looking after the fugitive under the table may not be very pleasant. But here our universal friend comes to the rescue. Take a larger clamp. Secure it to the edge of the table and thread the cord connector into the eyelet of the clamp handle. Now the cord will always be at your fingertips.
   
   
5. Way to store wires
   A box of wires and USB cables can look like a snake's nest if you don't use our next life hack.
   
   
   
   Roll each wire into a ring, and so that it does not unwind, fix it with a clerical clip.
   
   
6. Clamp for opened bags
   Products from opened bags tend to crumble. What to do if there is no airtight container at hand, where could they be poured?
   
   
   
   Use our handyman. Paper clips securely hold the folded edges of spice, cereal, flour and milk bags.
   
   
7. Stationery organizer
   If you have clips at hand, you can easily make an organizer for pencils, pens, felt-tip pens out of them.
   
   
   
   There will be a place for stationery gum.
   
   
8. Clothespin for money and credit cards
   Binder was invented for binding papers. Therefore, it would be quite appropriate to fasten them with securities.
   
   
   
   A good keychain keeps the keys together and prevents them from being lost. All this is fully inherent in the clerical clip. Besides, it is very useful to have it always at hand, as you can see.
   
   
9. Parchment paper holder
   Parchment paper is simply irreplaceable for baking. Everything is easy to bake, does not stick and does not stain the mold.
   
   
   
   But sometimes it is not very easy to cover the side walls of the form with paper. And here once again our trouble-free superhero comes to the rescue - a clerical clip.
   
   

I have heard of another way to use a large paper clip. They say that if you pinch her earlobe, the headache goes away faster. I personally find it hard to believe. But maybe it's worth a try?

As you can see, the elastic steel assistant has the potential to solve a variety of everyday issues. From kitchen and bathroom to wallet and computer. Everything is subject to Louis Balzli's universal invention!
