Sturdy Small Craft Clothespins 1 3/4" - 48/pkg

Sturdy Small Craft Clothespins 1 3/4" - 48/pkg These are very useful for sewing, the plastic clips sold for this purpose are too hard to squeeze for old arthritic hands, but these little wooden deals are perfect. Of course you can't pin heavy denim with these, but for some things they are much better than pins. I recently made one of these: http://so-sew-easy.com/non-slip-sewing-machine-foot-pedal-pad/#_a5y_p=3748343 (thanks Mayra and Deby! These are great!) and the small wooden pins were perfect for holding together the rubbery non-slip shelf liner material. In a fit of ennui I colored the ends of the pins (colored pencils altho nail polish works well also, did all my big clothespins yes I waste time like a boss) so they're easier to find when they skitter away after hitting the beige tile floor.

I use these to hold denim and canvas for sewing bags and wallets. I also use metal binder clips on areas where I need a secure hold or precision, but these are excellent for general things and bindings. Easy to grab, easy on and off. They hold up fine.

I bought these clothespins to pin money onto our wedding attire for the money dance.Grip: for what I needed it to do, it did it's job well. In hindsight I think I needed longer clothespins, but for it's size I expected the grip to be much weaker than it was.Durability: I used all of the clothespins and none of them had broken on me. I threw them out after the money dance so I don't know if they will survive multiple uses but it did it's job during 10 minutes of nonstop dancing.

I purchased these about two years ago for crafts. I've reused a whole bunch last year at Christmas and they have held up well. A couple did break on me (the wire piece came off). I didn't bother attempting to fix it, but I'm sure it was an easy fix. Sizing is accurate. I used them to hang my Christmas cards from a vertical ribbon and one clothespin held up a card, including heavier ones. I also have used them glued onto a canvas to hang art work to easily change it out. So far so good.

I used these clothespins to make a display "clothesline" for my children's art. This was a really excellent size as they were large enough to hold everything but small enough to be cute. I glued painted flower beads (flat) onto the tops to make them more decorative. The metal components are slightly weaker than what you'd get with a standard clothespin, so I think I'll have to be careful to keep the wooden pegs aligned and to keep the metal clips in place. These are appropriate for construction paper projects but I would not have them hold up anything especially heavy.

The clothespins are an excellent size for hanging photographs. I purchased them to hang photos in my dorm, and they look adorable. They are definitely much smaller than the normal clothespin size, so that is something to keep in mind. But, the 3/4" size is very charming. The small width makes it hard to decorate in detail, if arts and crafts is the goal. But as a supplement to an art project, they would work great. The quality of the clothespins are also very good from what I can see. All of them are still in good condition after a week of use. None of them have broken.

Got these to hang up Xmas cards around the house (on ribbon "clothes lines" and twine, and on garlands). They are also good for doing the same with photos and other paper memorabilia. Also, you can glue strong little magnets to one side of the clip and use them as fridge magnets, etc. Very handy and sturdier than tinier ones I've gotten at craft stores (the smaller ones are cute, but don't last--these are a cute miniature of the classic clothes pin and they WORK).

These were great for holding up photos at my wedding on some string. They are the perfect size for smaller vintage fotos, and the wood is good quality- or at least does a good job of looking like it is. Note that they are MUCH smaller than regular clothes pins, so if you plan on using them to hold up anything larger than a 4x6, you might want to reconsider, unless you're using two. I'm sure one will hold it up, but it might look a little funny with such a tiny clothespin.I wish I had more things to use them for- so CUTE!

The pegs are fine for purpose. You have to be gentle with them as they are prone to splitting off the metal. But otherwise I'm happy with the product.
