With the amount of buying
from the commercial supply chain that we’ve been doing, I’ve been
needing to divide up a lot of large containers. We typically use
ziplock bags, and they’re sturdy enough that they could be washed and
reused. We mostly haven’t been reusing them, though, because while I
don’t mind washing them they’re a pain to dry. They’re too flimsy to
stay open by themselves, and if they get bumped shut they tend to stay
shut.
I decided to attach some clothespins to the underside of the shelf
above our sink to hang drying bags from. It was pretty quick. First
I separated some clothespins, and drilled a small hole in the center
of the half that still had the metal spring attached:
Then I screwed through it into the shelf above, making sure to use a
screw short enough that it wouldn’t poke through:
Once it was snug, I slid the other half of the clothespin back on:
