Wednesday Post, Part 3

Please be sure to take a look at the other two posts that I made for today. I received some amazing and wonderful items from two very talented friends, Theresa and Samm. Take a look below!

My oldest daughter and I created some of those giant paperclips over the weekend. Here are the two that I made. My daughter hasn't added her ribbons yet, so hopefully, I'll post hers tomorrow.


Here's one side. I used Cuttlebug flower dies to cut chipboard, and then covered the chipboard with patterned paper. The tutorial for these is on SplitCoast Stampers. These were fun! I love the result.


Here's the other side. Fun!


Here's a photo with them actually clipped on a sheet of paper. These are cute and functional! I like the larger clip. I like the colors and the BLING! One thing about making these . . . WOW! Does that E6000 glue smell horrible! When I make more of these, I need to do the gluing OUTSIDE! Does anyone use that glue? I wanted to put the glue tip on the tube to make it easier to dispense, however, how would you then put the cap back on? If I take the tip back off the tube, how would I clean it? If I leave it on, won't the glue dry up? Does anyone know? Anyway, I'll be making more, because they were fun to make. Plus, my youngest daughter was at a birthday party when we made them, and she wants to make some too! My oldest daughter and I weren't being mean making them without her. I usually try to do something out of the ordinary or special with my daughter if the other daughter is at a party. It's one of our "things" that we do!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

I tried the E6000 and didn't think it smelled that bad, just hated waiting forever for it to dry. So now I use my hot glue gun and it dries in minuted! It holds good and strong as the E6000 also. not to mention cheaper and faster.
I love the papers you used they are just tooooooo cute!
