crafty in 10: altered binder clips

By Nicole · Comments (0)
Friday, October 14th, 2011

Im a crafty.

I love working with my hands. Its a welcome departure from the digital world of my day job.

Most weekends you’ll find me (nowhere near my computer) with some yarn and a hook in my hands, or at a friday night crop with my “chicks”. Scrapbooking and crochet are my two big loves right now.

I also can’t resist some good immediate gratification sprinkled in. Check out this cute altered binder clip (you know, the big fatty ones?) I learned how to make last week at the crop I attend:

 

Isnt it the cutest? The variations are endless. You could use this for so many things…

  • Thanksgiving table place card holder
  • Wedding place card holder/favor
  • Gift card holder
  • Photo/business card holder for your desk
  • Recipe holder
  • Teacher/co-worker gift
  • Stocking stuffer

I did a quick Google search and found a great video tutorial…Kerry at Kerry’s Paper Crafts shows you how to make it. I promise it will take you less than 10 minutes!

Your Turn: Have you seen this idea before? Made your own? Do share!

The free country we live in that so many defend with their very lives.

Being able to make a living doing what I love.

Caring, dedicated, excellent teachers to entrust my kids to every day.

Music on Pandora.

My brothers and sister, who are all coming to my house for Thanksgiving this year (I think I was 4 in this picture…)

A double oven.

“Our” mountains.

A husband with a stellar work ethic.

Healthy kids who can play soccer. Lots of soccer.

Friends who sharpen me and encourage me and relate to me.

You, for taking time to read this blog.

And much more than I have time or space to write.

What are you thankful for?
