Four things you could do with a paper clip

Natalie Chan

Use in place of a bobby pin
  • If you do have bobby pins, by all means use those first!
  • However, if you meant to get a haircut a month ago and don't have any bobby pins on hand because why on earth would anyone own hair accessories... this is worth a try
Attempt to pick a lock
  • A quick Google search tells me that this is actually possible. I haven't tried it myself though.
  • Note: I'm not saying you should pick any locks, just that you could if you so desired.
Make jewelry 
  • Pinterest has some examples that are much fancier than the elementary school paper clip chain bracelets.
  • However, keep in mind that #pinterestfail is a common phenomenon among many who attempt to replicate Pinterest projects.
Clip papers together. Because they are, y'know, made for that purpose.
