[@tracker5849]

How very cool!!

[@jenniferwatson7118]

These are so gorgeous! Thanks for the alcohol-ink-marker-on-the-clip idea. I really need something simple to make at the moment, and these are perfect!

[@carolmaloney4351]

Very clever

[@johnibrazzell764]

Wonderful!!

[@shirleyberky2040]

Hello Debra, I am always inspired by your videos. You are very talented and articulate. I wanted you to know that in one of your tutorials you mention your favorite glue, Barrens. Thank you so much for that tip. I have struggled non-stop for the last 2 years with the fabric glue others are using and I found them to be a nightmare. Barrens is perfect and thank you so much. Enjoy your day and thanks again.

[@AtticLane]

Oh thank you! I'm so glad that was helpful :) x

[@cindyhenry1410]

Love the idea of “coffee break” tutorial....short sweet and FUN! Brilliant! TYFS ❤️🦋💜

[@cindyhenry1410]

QUESTION.....I’ve tried to color things with alcohol ink and it seems to still leave a stain on my hands when I handle the item....do these need to be sealed in any way?

[@AtticLane]

Hi - I have the same problem - getting ink on my hands! But I never seal whatever the ink is supposed to be on, it dries quickly. :)

[@marymoore1241]

I am totally in love with these paperclip embellishments; I’m going to make them for my folks at work who still carry planners. Great idea!! I just love your tutorials.

[@AtticLane]

Good idea and a lovely gift for your friends! :) xx

[@janscott821]

These paper clips are so cute!🥰

[@vickimaddox6028]

I love the idea of adding eyelets to the bottom of the paper clip. TFS.

[@wonderwend1]

Fantastic! I could use my old nail varnish to colour the clips too as I don't have alcohol markers, or even wrap in thread. Some crochet done on to these would look fab or even lace threaded on the bottom. SO many ideas and great inspiration. Thanks so much!

[@AtticLane]

Nail varnish is a seriously good idea!

[@susiwakeman4271]

[@123uschie]

Thank you I will definitely give them a try❤️

[@created2bless322]

Those are pretty larger than the regular Large and small: love them and this is an amazing, inexpensive idea ! Will distressed inks work just as well? Alcohol markers, I've also used to color jewelery pieces, great idea for paper clips!!!! Pocket ideas are too cute, especially as you mentioned Mother's day! Delicious squeaky, not on all markers, I have found, ha ha too funny! I've colored my papers with Alcohol markers and my plain inexpensive string, also with the ink pads. Would love to add charms, I don't have the cropadile puncher with the eyelets. Will watch again for sure! These are beautiful! Thank you!

[@AtticLane]

Hi June - I'm so pleased you liked these. They have surely sparked off your imagination! :) xx

Purchase up to 3 pages. $10.00 per page I have to measure exactly, but looks like 18 or 20 x12 inches. Paper is brittle.
