Decorated binder clips

Trim your paper to fit the front and back of the binder clip. Apply modge podge to one side at a time and cover with the strips of paper.

Once the glue or modge podge is dry decorate with more paper, stickers or other embellishments. Word to the wise, if you are putting names or words on yours, make sure the silver clippy "leg" part is pointing downwards before you put your words on. Otherwise when they are actually clipped onto papers, the words will appear upside down. Click on the collage and look at first photo, the word Ta-Da is upside down.

Wrap in clever packaging, and deliver! We gave some of these as teacher gifts, and some to my home schooling mommy friend.
