They are great for cleaning the dust bunnies from in-between keys on the computer keyboard.

I tie a string on them...tie the end of the string to our shower curtain rod...and clip on my just washed hose..or other small items to dry...

I have a zipper with a pulltab that had broken off of a coat that was still in otherwise excellent shape. I slipped a paperclip through the hole where the tab had previously been and works great.

It's a little late but I use paper clips to hang ornaments on the Christmas tree. Just bend them so that you have a hook on each side
