Paperclip Banner

 

I stumbled upon a simple way to use up your scraps and to make a cute interactive feature for journals or cards.

Use bits of paper, fed through a paperclip and glued or taped in the back. Cut the banner bottom into swallow tails, scallops, etc., or leave the bottom straight. Add collage elements or writing. Cute, isn't it?

  1. Yes cute, but it took me a minute to find the paperclip. But once I did, I think it works great. Today sounds like your kind of day. I'm loving all the leaves. hugs-Erika

    1. I should have said the paperclip I used was white so it could be identified easier. Bring on the heat!

    1. It's attached using the paper clip. The entire paperclip isn't covered so it can still function like a paperclip
