This might be a bit optimistic but you never know.

1. Using clothes pegs to fix anti bird netting to wires. Saves time on tying and also you can easily unpeg to get your hand in to pick the fruit.

12. Making camps for kids to play in. A bit like their intended purpose but good enough for this list.

13. Pegging welly boots into pairs in an intensive welly boot situation like a school or winter play visit.

14. hold the tops of packets closed - I use metal paper peg thingys for it so that they can go in the freezer afterwards too. Might not want to use plastic ones in the freezer - it'll turn them brittle.

15. Curtain "tie"-backs. I made my own kitchen curtains and never got round to making tie-backs, so I peg them

16. Closing cereal bags. My son's the only one who eats cereals, and that's only a couple of times a week. I got fed up of throwing away half a box of limp cornflakes because he wouldn't fold the top of the bag over in the box, so I put a peg on it. He does actually replace the peg

17. stop spiders getting in your gardening gloves. Fold the top of your gloves over and stick a peg on it.

18. Make boring office jobs more interesting. I used to work in an office where someone took a clothes peg in and carefully pegged it on someone's clothes without them noticing. When the victim did eventually find it, they pegged it on someone else.

Whilst I am crafting I use them as tiny clamps for delicate things - trouble is I never have enough for the washing so have to go on a hunt through the craft boxes!

Keeping baby hats and mittens together, put an elastic band through the peg and you can hang them up too.

21. Closing the top of tetra packs (milk, juice)
22. holding bills together (need to be HUGE & strong in my house!)
23.Holding a teatowel in place by clipping to the shoulders instead of a bib. My Father-in-law has parkinsons and this is mum-in-laws answer to food spillage. We have now persuaded her that an apron is more dignified!

24. When the zip has gone on your gardening anorak and it's pouring with rain peg the front together. It worked for me yesterday I did consider putting a picture up on flickr but there is a limit to how barking you want to look online.

25. They're nicely scruffy in the office when you don't want to use bulldog clips or paper clips.
26. We've always lots of packs of seeds, half used and pegged together in families.
27. You can clip one or two onto fiddle or banjo bridges - they make brilliant mutes for practising quietly, far better than the commercial ones.
