There are hundreds of uses for a simple paperclip. A list of over 100 uses (some realistic and useful, some creepy and ridiculous) can be seen here. Here's 10 interesting ways that someone might actually use a paperclip, other than to hold papers together.
- Lottery Ticket scratcher (Because coins or fingernails are hard to come by.)
- Substitute a lost Monopoly or Clue gamepiece (Who done it? I believe it was Colonel Mustard in the Billiard Room with the Paperclip.)
- Nose weight for paper airplanes (Add some extra zoom to that little guy, champ.)
- Ornament hook (Believe it or not, many ornaments do not come with a hook.)
- Unclog salt and pepper shakers (For those of you who don't love to intake large amounts of sodium, your shakers might actually have a chance to get clogged.)
- Tool to flick crumbs out of the keyboard (Who hasn't eaten while at their desk?)
- Mark pages in a book or catalog (Paperclip the pages with presents you want and "accidentally" leave it on the coffee table.)
- Unclog a bottle of glue (How can you make a construction paper masterpiece if the glue won't come out!?)
- Hair barrette (Since bobby pins or a pack of Goody's are SO expensive.)
