Cocoa Clip

Cocoa Clips

I used the big paper clips (found at office depot) to make these festive "tags" for cocoa packets. I thought this would be an easy and fun gift to give coworkers and teachers.

These clips are very easy to make. Using your punches or die cuts, cut out two shaped sides to "sandwich" the paper clip (in the above image I chose scalloped shape). To make the sides sturdy you add a little chipboard on the inside of each piece ( or since I did not have any chipboard I punched my pieces from a pop tart box). Punch out two pieces...one for each side.

I always save my pop-tart or cereal boxes for chipboard projects!


See how I applied the chipboard piece to the back side of the pieces that are showing.


To adhere the finished pieces to the paper clip, I have used E600 glue. I have also used super glue before. Just squeeze a dab on the backside of one piece, place the paperclip in the dab...then press the other piece on top of it to sandwich the paperclip. Allow a few seconds to dry. Even easier...I've also used the large pop dots from SU instead of liqued adhesive and they work fabulous!
