Strengthen your gripDoes a weak grip or arthritis make it hard for you to open jars and do other tasks with your hands? Use a large binder clip to add some zip to your grip. Squeeze the folded-back wings of the clip, hold for a count of five, and relax. Do this a dozen or so times with each hand a few times a day. It will strengthen your grip and release tension too.
Mount a pictureHere's a neat way to mount and hang a picture so that it has a clean frameless look. Sandwich the picture between a sheet of glass or clear plastic and piece of hardboard or stiff card-board. Then use tiny binder clips along the edges to clamp the pieces together. Use two or three clips on each side. After the clips are in place, remove the clip handles at front. Tie picture wire to the rear handles for hanging the picture.
Keep your placeA medium-sized binder clip makes an ideal bookmark. If you don't want to leave impression marks on the pages, tape a soft material like felt, or even just some adhesive tape, to the inside jaws of the clip before using.
Make a money clipTo keep paper money in a neat bundle in your pocket or purse, stack the bills, fold them in half, and put a small binder clip over the fold.
Keep ID handyYou're at the airport and you know you'll be asked to show your ID a few times. Instead of fishing in your wallet or trying to figure out which pocket you stuck your driver's license in, use a binder clip to firmly and conveniently attach your ID and other documents to your belt. You can also use a small binder clip to secure your office ID to your belt or a breast pocket.
