Paper Craft Studios: August 2013

Today I want to show you some name tags holders, which I made for one of my workshops.

I used for the base large binder clips (you can get them from Walmart, Staples or sometimes even the Dollar Store)and it literally took my just a few minutes to make a dozen name tag holders.

Here is what you need:

- large binder clips (color does not matter, since you will cover most of the clip with paper)

* you also can use smaller binder clips, I just had the large ones handy

- decorative paper or solid paper (it's totally up to you)

- Glue Dots lines

- precision point adhesive

- misc. embellishments (ribbons, adhesive rhinestones, die cuts...)

Instructions:

- Cut a 8.5cm X 5cm piece of paper (if you use smaller binder clips, you need to adjust the size of the paper accordingly)

- Use the glue lines and glue them to each side of the paper and add 2 extra lines to the middle of the paper.

- Glue the paper to the base of the binder clip.

- Now you can decorate the clip with anything you want. I like to cut a few pieces of ribbon and knot them to both sides of the metal hook. For my name tag holders I used flower die cuts, which I decorated with adhesive rhine stones.

And that's it!

These are really easy to make and what I love especially is, that you can use them for many occasions:

- Place card holder (weddings, baby showers)

- Recipe holder

- Photo holder (for your desk for example)

- Gift card holder

- Dinner table place card holder (Christmas, Thanksgiving)

- Party favors

- Stocking stuffers

- Thank you note

Enjoy!
