Another "grasshopper": how practical is a bread clasp

It turns out staples or clips for packing bread in the bag - useful gizmos, just think a bit how to use them. I call them "clasps" and use them without professional clipper, and they are also much tougher than normal wire noodle for phone. For a while, I just dumped them into a pile, but then with their help I began to implement a couple of ideas.

Fixing the wiring

I think that as fasteners for wiring bread clasps are not only used by me. Due to the stiffness of the steel veins bending them with your fingers is not so easy, which is what I need. I tried to fasten the wiring with such clamps in two ways and in both cases it turns out with dignity (photo 2).

In the first case, the clip can be folded in half, pass a wire through it and nail it along the edge of the clip. In the second, I immediately hit the fastener with a nail to the base, put a wire on it and then wrap the edges as tightly as possible.

These are excellent options for attaching electrical wiring on the street and in the country.

Wall mount

In a more tricky application, the fastener will first have to be prepared. I melt one edge of it with a lighter, and then I bend such a cute "grasshopper" (photo 3), which will serve as a crochet for hanging pictures or large photographs in frames on the walls with wallpaper.

Wherein wallpaper and walls do not need to be damaged by nails and when new ideas come up, the picture and the snapshot can be easily outweighed without noticeable visual consequences. Just choose a place on the wallpaper and carefully drive the steel legs of the "grasshopper" under them. And how the installed "grasshopper" looks on the wall can be seen in the picture below.

Now it remains to hang a picture on this bread hook, achieve its balance and you can admire. It turns out to hang other not very heavy objects with a hook, on a thread, outside the frame, etc. For example, I took a photo of one of my favorite places where I have to visit once, every few weeks. Here it is, below.

Not bad, right? I am sure that you will offer a lot of equally interesting ideas and share them in the comments.

I consider this method of attaching objects to walls with wallpaper to be the cleanest, since after hanging the frame, the "grasshopper" is easily removed, and virtually no traces remain. So experiment and feel free to hang pictures, embroidery, photographs, appliqués and other design items on such clips more than once.
