My Tutorial for a Banner Paper Clip
Supplies:
Scraps of cardstock - doubled sided cardstock for my paper clip
Lawn Fawn Stitched Banner Die [I used 2 different sizes - one has the sentiment one for the base of my paper clip]
Metal Paper Clip - Glue - Embellishments [I used EK Success Butterfly Punch - Gross Grain Ribbon looped through the top of the paper clip - Stamplorations Fabulous Clear Stamp - Misti - Versafine Black Ink]
Step 1
Cut the cardstock - this stitched banner die is 6 3/4 inches long.
Step 2 - fold die cut banner and score
Step 3 - use a cutting knife to make a slit for the paper clip
Step 4 - Decide if you want the longer or shorter end of the paper clip on the inside [I inserted my paper clip so the shorter end was inside] 2 photo's showing the paper clip inside and outside before gluing.
Step 4b - showing shorter end of paper clip inside
Step 5 Glue the folded banner to secure the paper clip inside
Step 6 - Paper Clip is ready to Embellish - this photo shows the back of the homemade paper clip
Step 6b ~ Finished Clip - -I ran Organza Ribbon through the loop of the paper clip [optional] - Stamped Fabulous on a smaller Stitched Banner - Butterfly punch.
Finished Paper Clip is 4 1/4 inches long & 3 inches wide
