Save your binder clips. You'll want to copy these clever hacks all around the house

Finally, there’s a use for all those binder clips cluttering your junk drawer. In fact, once you see a few of these binder clip hacks, you will be using them all over the house. Whether you want to organize the kitchen or the craft room, binder clips are the unexpected and inexpensive solution.

With binder clips, you can tame unruly wires in the office or finally make sense of all the cords behind the TV stand. Binder clips also display your favorite photos on the wall without having to buy any picture frames. You can even turn a chaotic freezer into an organized arrangement of frozen vegetables, with just a few strategically placed clips.

Recipe display

Prevent food stains from splattering your recipe cards. Hang cards on the fridge so you can easily read them while keeping them safe from messy ingredients. Simply stick a magnet to the back of a binder clip, then slip the recipe into the clip, and hang it on the fridge. Cord organizer

To prevent cords from becoming tangled behind a desk or TV stand, gather similar them together with a binder clip. Add a small label to the clip to help quickly identify cords. You could also shorten a cord to the length you need by looping up the excess wire and securing it with a clip. Yarn holder

Crocheting and knitting aficionados will adore this clever hack. Place the yarn you’re using in a bowl, then attach a binder clip to the edge. The clip will keep the strand in place while the ball of yarn unwinds in the bowl. You will no longer have to chase yarn across the floor when you are in the middle of a knitting session. Hot glue gun stand

Protect your tabletop by keeping your hot glue gun positioned upright with a binder clip. This also makes the handle easily accessible so you do not accidentally burn yourself when reaching for it. For even easier cleanup, set the clip on top of a paper plate or towel to catch any drips from the glue gun. Freezer organization

Keep food bags closed and organized all at the same time with binder clips. Roll up a bag, then position it under a wire rack, and attach it to the rack with a clip. You’ll be able to quickly see and grab the bag you need, plus it frees up some shelf space on top. Razor cover

Ever search frantically around your shower for your razor, only to find the blades covered in rust? A binder clip helps keep tabs on your razor and extends the life of its blades. Place the clip over the head of the razor, then hang it from a shower curtain hook. Not only will the razor stay within easy reach, but the blades will also stay dry while not in use. Keyboard feet

Give your wrists a break, and elevate your keyboard. Tape a binder clip behind the top corners of your keyboard for instant elevation. Best of all, these keyboard feet will not snap off, unlike those attached plastic ones that somehow always break. Hang photos

A small amount of Washi tape is all it takes to turn binder clips into adorable photo holders. Clip them to a length of twine and transform a wall into an inexpensive photo display. Never again will you have to search stores for frames that fit all of your beloved Polaroids. Ribbon storage holder

Improve your gift-wrapping game with this ingenious ribbon storage holder. Arrange spools of ribbon in a small, metal basket, then use binder clips to keep track of all the loose ends. You’ll be able to pull out as much ribbon as you need without messing with the spool. Closet organizer with a binder clip

If you are not careful, scarves can quickly take your closet from clean to cluttered. Instead of leaving scarves scattered, fold them and clip two or more over a hanger. It will be easier to see what’s in your closet, and you will actually remember to throw on a scarf before heading out.
