Cilp On, Clip Off

It's all about "back to school" this week and even if I'm not a student, a quick trip to the office supply store is always fun treat. I found these binder clips and just felt the urge to jazz them up:

Yup, you got it -- blah to Tada!

It's a project I found in blogland. I've seen a lot of bloggers make this simple transformation of wrapping cloth or paper around the base of these binder clips with just a little bit of glue. Isn't the result fantastic?

Bills, bank statements, letters...it will make organizing these items easier and not to mention, much, much prettier!

Thanks for visiting me today. Hope to see you again tomorrow!

    Very good! I guess gilt spray paint AND ribbon would make fine Renaissance clips.

    I have a weird love of binder clips as it is...once I transform mine like you have...oh goodness I don't even want to think! I'll probably end up wearing them as jewelry, haha!

    Hi there MsVeve...leopard print binder clips sound sexy!

    Lissa Anne, thanks for stopping by! I'll definitely visit your blog =) Seasonal binder clips are cute...Halloween, Christmas & Valentines Day -- use it to close candy bags instead of using the usual ribbon =)
