Did you know...?
May 29th is National Paperclip Day
You may not even think about the paperclip, but we use it a lot! According to the National Day Calendar website:
"While many may have claimed earlier invention of the paperclip, according to the Early Office Museum, Samuel B. Fay received the first patent for a “bent wire paper clip” in the United States in 1867. The original intention of Fay’s clip was to attach tickets to fabric. However, U.S. patent 64,088 recognized that it could also be used to attach papers together."
For something so small and insignificant, it makes a big impact on our lives, especially if we run out of them, lol!
Here are so other uses for a paperclip besides clipping items together:
A paperclip can replace a zipper tab.
A paperclip can unclog a spray bottle.
A paperclip can hold up a hem on a dress, pants, whatever needs to be shortened!
A paperclip can act as an emergency hook for a broken necklace.
What other uses can a paperclip do for you?
That's all for today. Have a great weekend!!
