A pile of clothespins on a white background.Buy a bag of clothespins at the dollar store. They make a cheap but very good way to clamp shut your chips, pretzels, or any bag you want to close. I fold the bag down several times and then clip it shut. They are great chip clips! Or you can use the clips that hold papers together, either one will work.

I use the little clip clothespins for clippers to hold bags closed. I use them when I open a bag of veggies to be put back in the freezer and I use them to close chip bags.

Instead of buying bag clips, I use a clothes pin to keep the bag closed. I also use clothes pins on hangers to hang skirts and pants.

Buy new clothespins for this craft as they come in contact with food stuff.

My plastic bag clips were breaking because the freezer was too cold for them. I now use wooden clothespins and have eliminated the issue.

They last a lot longer and I will be using them exclusively, even for items that are not kept in the freezer.

After I enjoy a bowl of cereal or munch a chip, I fold the bag by bringing the top corners of the bag in to meet each other then fold the flap down. I then clip a clothespin on the flap and return to box or shelf.

When I open a packet of cereal and there is no ziplock top to re-close it, I fold the packet up and put a clothes peg on it. It is then air tight until it is finished. I use pegs even if I open a packet of frozen vegetables or goods.
