You don't like seeing critters in your very last packet of flour right before making emergency pancakes for a snack?
So store your paperclips in a kitchen drawer, always close at hand, to keep your packet of flour tightly closed.
More snacks? Emergency pancakes? Hungry kids? Stress? Milk everywhere? AHHH! No time to sift the flour. Stop!
If you don't already store your flour in a canning jar , airtight, pretty full because the pretty label is me who made it, so follow me.
1. Flatten the top of the package of flour to squeeze out the air .
2. Fold by rolling 1-2 centimeter widths until you can't anymore.
3. Stick a paper clip on each side on the folds, and here is your flour safe from unwanted guests and moisture.
Of course, you can always use clothes pegs for that storage trick, but it's much bulkier in a closet.
If you too have paperclips that do more than just paperwork, share your little stories in a comment.
