Title? What title?
You can alter those clothespins to make them a bit better clamps for some situations.

I will be interested to see if you end up using the tiny pegs.

With great anticipation, I bought a couple of packets some time ago - and found them actually totally useless - and ended up trying to give them away. To declutter my kit I eventually just tossed them in the bin.

Though the potential looked good, I could really find no real use for them.......

I too have found these little wooden pegs quite useful to have around just as they come, but they don't like staying together in the reversed mode. I have some little plastic ones as well, and they don't like being reversed either. The full sized ones are much improved in reverse mode though.

I'm a little intrigued as to what you use the cuticle cutter for though?

I see all sorts of possibilities for trimming. They had some curved ones there. They will be great for wheels. Next time I am near there these will be in the shopping basket. These are $1 each!!
