Fabric Scrap Wreath

One of my bestest friends, Farrah , sent me a gift and I wanted to share it with you all! You can get the instructions to make your own off her craft blog. This is a super easy project! This picture does not do it justice at all :0)

Paper Clip Bracelet

I had so much fun making the paper clip ring that I decided to see what else I can make out of clips. This project took me about 15 minutes to do and only required things I already had in the house :0)



Supplies Needed:
About 16 paper clips ( made a 7" bracelet )
Needle Nose Pliers
A Lil Bit of Imagination :0)



As you can see from my finished bracelet, I decided to use 2 different color of clips.
I think it would look just as nice, if not nicer, if you only used metal ones :0)
I used my needle nose pliers to start my clips into a "swirl" and then used my fingers to finish them off. The tighter you make the "swirl" the more clips you will need to use. I made all 16 swirls and sealed the metal ones with clear nail polish on both sides before proceeding.



Once I had them all made and sealed, it was time to assemble the bracelet. Wrap each swirl until you get to the second bend on the 2 you are connecting. Do this with a "key on keychain" motion. After 2 are connected, use your pliers to bend in the end to make sure they stay connected.



I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did!
I would love to see your results :0)

Happy Craftin'!!

Paper Clip Ring

While looking over a blog that a friend had linked me to, I discovered this really cute and EASY ring project. It took me under 10 minutes to make and came out purdy darn cute,
if I do say so myself :0)
I plan on making TONS more of these and giving them as gifts!
Who doesn't love getting jewelry? Even if its only made out of paper clips :0)
Here are a few pics of my finished project :

Here's how to make one :0)

Supplies Needed:
5 paperclips ( I used #1 size clips but any should work)
Loose Beads
Pliers (needle nose or jewelry type work best)
A 'lil bit of imagination :0)

Unfold all your paperclips and use the pliers to "straighten" them out.
Twist 2 paperclips around your finger forming circles.

Put the 2 circles together by twisting the excess pieces together to form your ring base.

Then with 2 paperclips "string" a few beads on each clip and twist and twist until it looks like a mess :0) Try to make it in a cluster..This will act as your ring topper.
Lastly, use your final paperclip to attach your topper to your ring base.
Seal the inside of the ring base with clear nail polish to ensure you don't get a green finger :0)

*If you have any sharp edges from cutting ends off the clips, use a nail file to smooth them out and seal it with clear nail polish*

I would love to see your results from this fun and easy project :0)

Happy Craftin'!!
