re-purposing - clothespins
I love finding new ways to use old things. Re-purposing basically means to reuse for a different purpose.
Re-purposing is green and thrifty. So before you think about throwing items in the trash, consider turning them into treasures.. Below are some of my favorite ways to re-purpose clothespins.
1. Use old clothespins as a chip clips
2. Throw a bunch of old clothes pins in a glass jar for decoration (mine are in the laundry room)
3. String a thin rope on the wall above your bed and use clothes pins to hold old family photos.
4. Use a clothes pin to hold your nail in place while hammering (keep your fingers safe)
Please leave your comments below and let me know some of the things that you re-purpose. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

At my shower for my firstborn, the theme was baby clothing on a clothesline. Oh it was adorable. There were baby clothes strung all around the living room and they were all gifts for our baby to be. Precious!

I’ve used your third suggestion in my daughter’s room. I hot-glued colorful silk blossoms to the top of the clothespins for a bit of decoration. I use them to display all her kindergarten art-work.

2 more ideas for clothespins:
1) i keep a couple in my beach bag to pin my towel to my chair on a windy day - it works!!
2) i keep some in my daughter’s diaper bag so i can make a bib out of a dinner napkin in a pinch!
