jumbo paper clips

[librarian]

Do you have to use chipboard on these clips? I want to share at a class but I'm a little confused. Any help would be appreciated.

I just made one and used strong cardboard with it. It works...but I like coasters better for it.

Does any one have the directions for making these.

Here are some instructions using chipboard: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Hope this helps...some people have also used a cereal box which is thinner and you can decorate with patterned paper. You can also use die cuts. I bought a die cut chipboard pack at Jo's for only $9.99 about a week ago (retail value is $24.99) - great deal!

i just used a circle punch with paper and then put glue on the paper and laid the paper clip on it will be posting a picture when its done

Instead of the chipboard shapes you can punch out several pieced of cardstock and glue them together. Works as well as chipboard.

Are these paperclips the normal "jumbo" paperclips you buy at an office supply store (nikel plated, 100/box, 2") , or are these bigger than normal clips found at a craft/hobby store?

The ones I use are about 3-1/4" long. They are nickel plated and come 15 per package for $0.97 at Wal-Mart. They can be found in the office supply area.

I have also seen gold toned jumbo clips at Staples. They were $2.99 for 10 clips (or maybe only 6, I don't remember).

when I make my giant paper clip bookmarks, I use these great paperclips I found at Office Max. They are "gold' colored and look so much more fancy and nice than the regular metal color ones. . .
