Creative Ways to Use the T&M Magnetic Leather Clip

The Thread & Maple Leather Clip is more than just a tidy way to store your measuring tape—it’s a multi-functional magnetic tool with all sorts of clever uses.

Its strong magnet and minimalist design make it a versatile addition to your crafting toolkit. Here are some of our favorite ways to use it:

1. Store Measuring Tape Neatly

Its most common use: folding up your measuring tape and clipping it shut to keep your toolkit organized and compact.

2. Clip onto Metal Snaps or Buttons

The clip will stick to any metal surface on your other Binder Pages, like button closures—handy and customizable. The Project Page is a customer favorite that can be enhanced with a tape measure add-on.

3. Tame Your Barber Cords

Keep your stitch holder tubing neat by coiling it up and clipping it in place. No more tangled cords in your pouch!

4. Hold Your Row Counter

Attach your clickable row counter directly to a binder page using the clip. That way, it’s easy to find and won’t slip to the bottom of your bag.

5. Use it as a Paper Clip or Bookmark

Clipping together pattern pages? Marking your place in a printed chart? The leather clip works beautifully for both.

7. Turn a Yarn Bag into a Yarn Bowl

Slide the clip onto the rim of a project bag with a notch, and feed your working yarn through it. This helps prevent tangling and keeps your yarn feeding smoothly.
