Uses for Bulldog Metal Clips

Office

• Bulldog clips are often used in the workplace to hold various items together. Gathering reports, holding copies of reports together for meetings and for marking the location of files in filing cabinets while sorting or organizing are among the more common uses for bulldog clips around the office. Others include running cables and wires through the top of the bulldog and pinching the clip portion to your desk to organize cable, phone and other wires. Pinch pictures in the clip and hang through the hole at the handle of the bulldog clip to display pictures without damaging them with holes. This works for pictures, cards or lightweight plaques.

Home

• Use this helpful tool in your home. Secure gathered draperies together with a drapery cord and hold the drapery cord in place by pinching it and the draperies together. This works well when you have draperies gathered in a location not close to a wall. Secure the ends of wrapping paper or wallpaper together with bulldog clips. Close chip bags, cereal bags or pasta bags together so they're not spilling all over your cupboard. Organize your linen closet and lip sheet sets together.

Decor

• Create an industrial element to your home's decor with bulldog clips. Add magnets to the back of the bulldog clips and display pictures, children's artwork and report cards on your refrigerator. Create an art gallery in children's bedrooms. String a wire from one end of the wall to the other. Clip the bulldog clips over the wire and hang your artwork or photographs from the clip. Hang decorative post cards in rows from bulldog clips to make a unique wall display.

Crafts

• Paint your bulldog clips with metal paint. Glue rhinestones, crystals or jewels to the binder clip with hot glue. Thread ribbon through the hole and use your stylish bulldog clips as hair clips. Use decorative bulldog clips to mark your page in your book. Use stylish bulldog clips in scrapbooking to hold interactive notes in place. Create a portable drawing station for your children. Clip papers to a board with bulldog pins. Thread ribbons through the hole and secure markers and colored pencil to the ribbons by hot gluing the ribbons to the drawing instruments.
