1. Remove the protective ball from the end of a bobby pin and use it as an emergency screwdriver for a tiny screw!
2. If you're always loosing the bookmark from your favorite book, slip a bobby pin over the page to save your spot.
3. This is also a grea tip for marking favorite recipe pages in a cookbook so you don't have to keep flipping through while you're making a big meal.
4. Are your bags of chips always going stale? Fold the opening over itself several times and then slip a bobby pin on the bag at each end.
5. Keep a few bobby pins in your handbag for an emergency hold on a fallen hem.
6. Or you can use them to hold fabric in place while you're sewing.
7. If your zipper pull breaks - slip a bobby pin in the hole and pull the zipper around!
