Paper Clip Bracelet
Judith Reed explains how to make a simple bracelet using paper clips and beads.

Materials Needed:

  • Metal paper clips
  • Multi-colored, plastic coated paper clips
  • Small beads
Instructions:
Make sure the beads you get have big enough holes to slide onto the paper clips. Seed beads will NOT work.

Thread beads onto the metal paper clips. You can straighten the paper clips a bit if needed, but then put the back in their original shape.

Hook the paper clips together, alternating the metal clips with the plastic coated clips. Make them long enough to fit around your wrist and then clip the 2 ends ones together to make a circle. This will make a pretty bracelet or an ankle bracelet.
