Prima flower Jumbo Paper Clips and Binder Clips

***For those of you who have asked...the paper clips are Mega Paper Clips. I purchased them from Staples. They come 10 to a package and are priced $3.29. The Binder Clips are the large 2" come 12 to a package and are $3.99. ***


I thought that i would share these with you. My sister and law and I are selling at another Craft Fair this weekend. At the last show that we did I completely sold out of these. One woman purchased everything that i had. These are two easy items to make. It's amazing how Prima Flowers can dress up a simple Jumbo Paper Clip and a Binder Clip, both purchased at Staples.

For the jumbo binder clips you will need paper, ribbon, adhesive, and any embellies you want to use. I first cut a piece of paper 2" by 3 1/4". I used my anywhere glue from su to get it on the clip. Then i cut another piece of coordinating paper 1 3/4 " by 3 1/4" and placed it on top of the first piece of paper. I tied a piece of ribbon around the base of the binder clip, added more ribbon, and frayed some ribbon. I then punched out a scallop circle using SU's scallop punch, punched out another piece of coordinating paper using the 1 3/8" circle and then another piece of paper using the 1 1/4 " circle punch. I used a giant dimensional that i found at Michaels and attached it to the Binder Clip. So easy!

The Jumbo Paper Clip were just as easy to do. I layered Prima Flowers, punched out 2 1 1/4" circles using SU card stock , attached a brad and backed the flowers with one of the circle punches. To the back of the circle punch I added a dimensional. Then i just added the back, which consisted of another Prima Flower, the circle punch and another brad. I dressed it up with ribbon...and they are all done. My daughters love these. Hope you have fun making them!

Binder Clips


Another day, another project! This craft fair that i have committed my self to doing is taking on a life of it's own. These are some of the binder clips that i am making to sell at the fair.

They are so easy to make. Here are the directions, just in case you need them!

Cut 1 strip of desired paper 2" x 3 1/4". If you would like to layer your paper cut another piece of paper 1 3/4" x 3 1/4". Now your ready to glue. I used SU anywhere glue, and used my bone folder to make nice creases. apply glue, then paper. you will have to work it a little to fit it under the hinges. Ok, wasn't that so easy! now you're ready to decorate them. I used ribbon, and funky fibers. tie a ribbon around the base. Your knot will be covered up by a punched design. then tie ribbon on each side of the binder clip. Choose your design for your focal point and apply it with dimensionals. You are done! Thanks for looking!
