    I use them to seal bags of frozen vegetables if I don't use the whole bag in one go. I'm laughing because I confessed to my cousin on the phone the other day that I save tags and she thought I was crazy LO I'm sending her this video!

    I have vertical blinds on my patio door which are prone to breaking at the very top. I use a bread tags to repair the broken slot of the vertical blind. I cut a small piece of the bread tag off and super glue it across broken part of the blind. The blind can then be snapped back into the clip on the sliding blind carrier.

    As a lower grade teacher I made a counting to 100 board,. Turn tags to blank then. Have kids guess what comes next. Turn over to reinforce. By 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s etc.

    Use these to mark all of your antenna cables.
    As a licensed HAM operator, I use these bread wrapper clips as tags to mark my antenna cables.
    I disconnect all of my antennas when there is a threat of electrical storm activity in the area.
    These little babies help me hook things back up in a jiffy, after the threat has passed!

      He said he could tell who was on the other end, just from their cadence when they were sending code.
      He could still "Hear" the code until he died. When we'd listen, he'd stop us on a Freq. with Morse code and "read" it for us. Very cool hobby.

    These are great for putting around 1, or several chains, or bracelets to keep together. Use for wedging on a door to see if it has been opened, or to tag several dog's leashes with dog's names. These can be put in different colors to tag items in a garage sale, Red tags are mine, blue are yours, etc..,etc. so many uses.

    It’s very useful to hold together the cables (USB Micro, Lightning and USB C) with it getting loose and tangled. On longer cables as 10 or 12 feet, I use a large bread tag and use an electric carver pen to expend the oral groove more.

    I have been tossing them for years. I'm big into recycling so I've been tossing them into our recycle bin. No more.
    Recently, I took all my cables out of my laptop and unplugged all the cords. You got it. When I thought I had everything put back in, I noticed my laptop giving me the message that I didn't have much more time before my battery would die. I, finally, figured it out that I had plugged the cable into the wrong plug in. What a sigh of relief. I tried writing on the cords, but that didn't work at all. So I used some stick ons and wrote on them.
    With bread tags, that would have been a breeze. We have cords all over the house. These will be great for them.
    I'm, especially, impressed with how to keep tape from sticking to itself. That is always frustrating.
    One more thing I will be using one for is to seal up brown sugar, which I keep in a canister.
    Oh. Cats love playing with them, too. Great video. Blessings.

    I have a lot of those plastic tags that I have collected for ages, put into a plastic jar, but now because of environmental concerns, we are getting useless cardboard tags, to replace the plastic ones. So now, I use the plastic ones to replace the crappy cardboard versions. When that loaf is finished, I put it on the next bag of bread. The cardboard version either goes into the compost bin or the recyle bin. Problem solvered. (I'm waiting for another paper shortage then they will produce plastic tags again. 😂)

    Anyone with common sense knows you can't use a bread tag to close a chip bag. That's more plastic than can fit into that little hole space of the tag. Heck, some bags like tortilla bags, can't even use twist ties to be closed.

    These are great ideas but, these tags hurt my fingers. I use a hot knife to cut the snap part off store hangers for chip clips & cereal bags & other things that need a clip. I use an old steak knife & put it on the stove burner until it's red hot & cut the clips off the hanger. Then I recycle the hanger. I save the knife for this use. Run it under cold water, dry it & put it away for next time.
