I'm not going to say it, no I'm not. But did you know there are 125 days remaining for a very special occasion, and a very festive one at that? No? Either did I, until my kids used the Sleeps to Christmas app on my phone. Arrgghhh, I said it!! So I thought I might show a few of the simple gifts you can make for Christmas (or any other occasion really).
Decorating binder clips is a great project to use up scraps of your favourite Designer Series Papers that you just can't bring yourself to throw out!
I made these binder clips as little gifts for my guests at last month's Christmas stamp camp. They were so cute, especially when I stood them up and put name tags in each of them (sadly I didn't take any photos of the day).
I used my Tombow glue (the large flat end) to cover the clips in glue to attach my papers to. I then took the extra step and coated them all with a layer or two of Mod Podge to seal the paper. Once dried, I then tied little strips of ribbon to each one.
There's a lot of tutorials around on how to make these if you like to google. All are easy to follow. So go on, have a look around your desk or stationery desk. I'm sure you'll find lots of clips that are looking dull and need a bit of decorating :) Even your kids can do this one!!
