ANGEL ORNAMENT FROM PAPER CLIPS

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

Snoopy :D
