I’ve been to enough picnics to know one thing for sure: If there’s any wind at all, it will almost always crash the party. So naturally, when I hosted a picnic last summer, we had just started eating when the wind picked up out of nowhere, wreaking absolute havoc. The tablecloth lifted into someone’s face, cups went flying, and pasta salad hit the ground (and someone’s lap). Total mess.
How to Use Clipra Tablecloth Clips
You just slide the clips onto the edges of your table, and they keep the cloth locked down like it was custom-fitted. No more weighing down corners with whatever’s nearby or adjusting things every 5 minutes! They’re low-profile, easy to clip on, and barely noticeable once everything’s set up.
Since getting them, I’ve used them at BBQs, beach days, birthday parties, and low-key park hangs. I even keep a couple in my cooler bag at all times, just in case the wind decides to show up. They’ve worked on every kind of table I’ve tried them on, from a big outdoor dining setup to a wobbly folding one.
At one point, I gave a pack to a friend who hosts even more than I do, and she was genuinely surprised when I told her how cheap they were. “They look so fancy!” she said — and honestly, she’s not wrong. They look way sleeker than those bulky plastic ones.
It’s one of those small things you don’t realize you need until you have it — and once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever hosted without it.
