Hello Scrappers! Today's project is so neat. I have been looking for an inexpensive way to display my cards at a craft fair. I looked for store easels and wow, I would have to spend my profits to accommodate all of my cards. This easel is made out of a gold colored paper clip, that came in a box of 100 from Staples for $4.00. The clip measures just under two inches. The clips in the pictures have been bent to form an easel, so that it will support your card. Thanks for visiting my blog and have a super day!

How clever!! Thanks for sharing this great idea :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a great idea! Thanks for sharing all your clever and creative ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great idea Lorraine, I love it! Isn't it amazing what we can come up with with a simple paperclip! When I lived in Vegas and our first year in out new house I wanted to hang up Xmas lights and didn't want to nail into the stucco (yes Everything out there was stucco, lol) so I bought a bunch of paper clips and opened them up on one side and slid the cord onto it and then hung the open end on the channel for the tiles on the roof overhang! I guess it was a good idea because when we would walk around the neighborhood to look at the lights some of the other neighbors had did the same thing, lol! And yea some had just resorted to nails. Thanks for sharing and hope you made a killing at the faire.

Thanks for sharing this super idea. With all of the colors they have for paper clips you could even choose a color to accent your card. Even if it wouldn't be that noticable.
ReplyDeleteWow, such a great idea!
