Default Paperclips

I bought a pack of beautifully colored paperclips for 19cents. Has anyone used pape clips on their cards? Would love some ideas.

You know, I've seen cards where people just put them over the edge of an image, kind of between the image and the mat/frame around it. Usually they are the circular kind of paperclips, though.

I've also seen some cards where they use a paperclip to make the body on a die-cut butterfly which is attached to the card.

If they are large enough, you can make some cute bookmarks with them. I've done that. Here is a link to paperclip bookmarks:

I love your ideas, but these are small clips in great colors. They could work as the body of a butterly.

You can use them to attach a tiny greeting or on a scrapbook page to hold a caption to a photo or a journaling card to the page. Sounds like a great find for 19 cents.

I have used the circular paperclips, they come in great colours and just add a little something to your card. I picked them up in the stationery department of a large store for only a few dollars.
