First of all, I must give credit for this idea to Linda's Creativity on her Simple Sunday post. It's such a cool idea! Thanks, Linda. :D
Back in the day, when we typed on typewriters, kept our files in drawers, and had to collate reports by hand we used paper clips for our piles of papers and if they were large piles of paper we used Butterfly Paper Clips, like this one that I got at Walmart.
Well, Linda came up with a way to use these to make an Angel ornament. It's easy peasy and a fantastic project for kids too. Here's how the finished product looks.
The ribbon I used is 3/16ths of an inch wide. I made up a few with gold beads.

Then I used the same ribbons with silver beads.

Then I couldn't help but play with colors. I think I like them with the gold beads best.

So for all of you who are stuck at the office during the day, I suggest you put some bony beads and ribbons in a baggy and bring them to work. Then the next time you are stuck on the phone listening to a recording that says, "Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold until the next service agent is available." Break out the baggie and make some angels. :D

Love them. Great job!
They look really great Snoopy, haven't heard about butterfly paper clips before, maybe that's why i couldn't make one with the tiny clip I had at home! =)

Fantastic idea Snoopy. I love your angels.. I have never seen paper clips like these but it is 34yrs since I worked in an office..LOL..Loz
These are great and it's such a creative idea, it takes a special eye to see that in something like a paper clip. I love the ribbons and beads you added to yours. :)
I saw these at Lindascreativity as well. I checked the office supply store for these paperclips. Did you use the large or the small ones? Also, where did you find gold and silver pony beads? Thanks for sharing all your color combos!
About the paperclip angel, there was only one size at Walmart and they measure 1 3/4" x 1 1/4". They're probably the small ones.
The pony beads are from Michaels. I couldn't find any bags of just silver or gold, but they had a multicolor bag that had both in them. I hope this helps.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
Fabulous craft idea, they all look so pretty and so simple to make!
Cute idea! I love it. Well I don't work in an office, but this is certainly a great idea for when I'm sitting on the phone at home. TFS!
I love that you share the plan of salvation on your blog!
