Use Clothespins To Protect Christmas Ornaments

Have you seen or made any of those cute Christmas "clothes pins" as decorations or advent ideas? Well here is another use.

I have many valuable (monetary and sentiment) ornaments that are a bit heavy or fragile. I have sometimes had them to slide off our live tree branches and tumble to the floor. I have been lucky so far with no breakage, but some close calls! Take the decorated clothes pins and clip them to the ends of any branches holding such treasured ornaments. If they do slide, the clothes pins will act to protect them from sliding off!
