WnWHS: Paperclip Day

National Paper Clip Day - May 29

National Paperclip Day on May 29th celebrates a small but unusually useful invention.

The day celebrates the well-known piece of curved wire that keeps our papers together and helps us stay organized.

To honor National Paper Clip Day, we will create altered paperclip embellishments.

You will have one partner for this swap, and the theme/color is Sender's Choice.

I have included YouTube Video LINKS to tutorials and pictures below for inspiration.

Swap Requirements

• Create two (2) altered paperclips

• Each paperclip must be altered with at least 3 different elements (i.e ribbon, beads, bling, paper, ect...)

• The paperclips can be the same, similar, or different

• Theme is sender's choice

• Package up your altered paperclip embellishments (Which by the way May 7th is National Packaging Design Day!.)

• Include a label/card/notecard or swap card with the following information:

  • Swap Name - WnWHS: Paperclip Day
  • Your full name & swap bot name
  • Date Sent

A goodie is not required for this swap, but feel free to include.
A great goodie idea would be shaped paperclips.

Note: This may ship as a small package depending on how dimensional your paperclips are. Please send with the appropriate amount of postage.

Message me or comment below with any questions.
This is USA only to keep shipping costs low.

There are tons of you tube videos and images of so many crafters creating altered paperclip embellishments .

Below are some YoutTube Video Tutorial links and pictures of the altered paperclip embellishments for inspiration for this swap.
