Altered Paperclips
So hands are still keeping busy. This time some Altered Paperclips. Fun little works of art. I avoided them for ages. Saw them quite a while ago but had decided I didn't need to start making clips. I mean what am I going to do with them all. I have seen other people on Pinterest who make them daily and in multiples. What do they do with all those? Yes you can use them on a tag or a card or a scrapbook page but you don't want them on every tag, card or page. Yes you can give some away as a little special gift but after awhile your friends might start running the other way. Yes you could try selling them but I have no time for business like that. But now..................now we are locked up in our houses..........now we need to busy our hands to keep out of cookie jars, so I caved. I'm making clips and DARN IT my friends are going to accept them with open arms!!! Because I said so!!! lol I can see Cindy shaking her head at me right now lol.
So awhile ago I made these paperclip bookmarks. Seen Here Quick, easy and useful. To start with I have a lot of these plastic paperclips that a friend gave me. Might as well use them.
These are super flat and glue to the backs real well.
So here's the collection so far.
Well it's a start. I'm quite sure there will be more since the Shelter at Home is still going on for at least another 2 weeks.
Off to try some others so until next time.............................
HAPPY CARDING!
