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'!!
