paper clip bracelets/necklaces

Fun project for indoor play days!

PAPER CLIP BRACELETS

What do you need?  Well, look around, you probably have the supplies at home!

1.  Paper clips
2.  beads, sequins, plastic flowers…. (anything with a small hole in the middle)

this is what I found in my craft drawer
what's in yours?  use it!

















Start by threading beads (or whatever you're using) through the end of a paper clip.  Push them around the first bend.  Repeat with a second paper clip.  Hook the second paper clip onto the first paper clip.  Squeeze the first paper clip closed (so the beads don't fall off).  Repeat this process until the bracelet fits!  You can also make beautiful necklaces.  Remember, I'm just sharing the guidelines…your creativity may take you in a different direction.  HAVE FUN!

my finished bracelet!


Questions?  I'll answer them!

Peace!
