The many uses of bobby pins

So, today, while de-cluttering I started thinking of the many uses of bobby pins.  Not only are they useful for holding back unruley hair, they have many, many other uses. 

1.  As a "chip clip".  In my case, it's holding the coffee creamer bag shut and air tight. 
2.  As a money clip.  I use it to clip together bundles of 10,000 Sum.  Makes it much easier to count. 
3.  A paper clip, work doesn't have many office supplies, and I just decided not to bug people and scavange.  So, I'm using bobby pins to keep stacks of paper together. 
4.  A bookmark.  Rather than dog-ear the pages of magazines and books, I've been using it to mark my place. 

These are the uses I've noticed and I'm sure by the end of this trip I will have found many more.  It's somewhat sad that this is what I've been thinking about today..... but I'll keep you posted on the more uses I find.
