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!
