They were all great but I LOVED the corrugated one....fabulously quirky!

[@littlegoldiesbooks]

Mike should be amazed and proud! Good job!

[@bettyalbrent7060]

Love the black and white. The checked button really makes it. Just yummy.

[@andreahardee2956]

Gayle, your video and yourself are as lovely as ever. For large puzzle pieces, I like to find puzzles at the thrift store and then put them in water. Most of the cardboard soaks right off and leaves the glossy picture part intact, and a thin layer of the cardboard that is a lot harder to get off but gives the piece about cardstock sturdiness. Let dry flat. I press mine in my make-shift press, made of cheap bamboo cutting boards and clamps. Kids' puzzle pieces can be gessoed and napkin or tissue paper applied. Happy crafting!

[@donnaclark2683]

Love your hidden paper clips they all turned out great!

[@karrigradolph8199]

Love these paper clip ephemera lessons!! Thank you!! :)❤

[@Shadypeanutlane]

So cute. That retro slide one with the red thread... da bomb! I think it would be fun and soooo helpful to somehow watch you clean... I need help thinking through that process. But if you don't wanna, I understand!

[@joanndankovchik4861]

I love them. They are so beautiful and creative. Time to head to my craft room and give these a try. thanks for sharing with us

[@gaildeltufo-barrett3686]

Hi Gayle I love ❤️ that you do your diffuser with focus 🧘‍♀️ ! I do my space with smoke , candle with oils or even short meditation for focus and clarify

[@lindablackmore5882]

I’ve been watching some older videos, and this one was very interesting. This probably sounds outrageous, but it’s true. I have at least a thousand slides of all configurations and types and subjects. Many of the ones were sellable or giftable so I lotted them and disposed of them. That was a drop in the bucket. So I like this for ideas. If there are some different ones or new ideas you’ve come across, I’d love to see them.

[@karenpruis501]

Hi Gayle, I loved your altered paperclips today. The corrugated one was lovely. I thought the birds looked fine. regards Karen.

[@janicem4382]

I love your wrinkly birdies! I have a few of my own, they show character I am told.😉

[@clcain1949]

Cold, rainy night in Wy. Wonderful way to hibernate, watching you create. You are getting really good with that cropodile. I can honestly say I know a lady who wrestles cropodiles🤭🤭😂.

[@mamiejeanne1]

I love them.... and i loooove your videos !! You crack me up Gayle (is that the right word in english ?) !! When you cut the slide, i thought "wait Gayle, i think you cut the inside instead of the outside line.... !! and yes, you coudn't find the line when you want to glue it !! Gayle, i absolutely love your natural way of "mistakes", which we all do !! Thank you again for sharing and for being such a joy !! Sabine

[@DarlenesCreativeStudio]

Love following you and your crafty adventures. Love the film negative paperclips. I have made something similar and will now have to pull out my stash and make a few like these. Thanks Gayle. Have a fun retreat weekend.

[@judyortiz5745]

I’m new to your videos and I am finding everything just wonderful. I have so many ideas for things now. You’re also a hoot. I find myself laughing with you a lot.

[@Wollepapierundco]

Oh my goodness...its so nice🥰🥰 i Love it. Thanks 🙋‍♀️From Germany😘

[@karlamcampbell6324]

Very nice Gayle!! You did a great job!

[@heathergeen6385]

Enjoyed watching thanks Gayle🎶

[@lorraynesmith6302]

Looks like fun. Can’t wait to try.

[@grahamfox931]

WOW, Gayle, these altered paper clips are such a fun idea. First time I have seen them and Now i JUST have to try and make some. Yours are super pretty and I just LOVE the carbdoard one. I don't think I have ever seen the bub clips before, will just have to look out for them. Thanks for the inspiration (again). As you can see, I am catching up with the older videos and they are just so inspiring, I am learning such a lot. Thank you for these videos too, and for keeping a playlist for us to go back on. Hope you are well and keeping safe. Hope your grand daughters recital went off well. Blessings and hugs ss always from Cape Town. Diana

[@elenavigil-farinas3663]

I recently discovered your channel and love you! Its like sitting down to scrap with a friend. Thank you!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️

[@fluffyspit]

You’re a very good teacher.x

[@veronicawhite398]

So cute! Love them.

[@juliennebrendadevos6004]

I think the coragated cardboard is a nice touch .

[@fazestorm4441]

I had a nice time those are really cute

[@anita4291]

Beautiful Altered Paperclips! Thank you for sharing.

[@kamalimasters5287]

Love this series so much...😍 Tfs 😘

[@racheljoanfleming159]

It is so much easier to glue the sheet of music to the frame and then use your Exacto knife to cut out the interior and around the edge. (at least for me) Gets rid of some of the fussy cutting. I thought that the corregated cardboard birds turned out beautifully. I was laughing when you said "I love it when a plan comes together" (even when there isn't a plan in place) lol. I so enjoyed your video and it lifted my spirits too.

[@artzology]

These are fun for sure! Perfect Gayle! xo

[@BDTStudio]

Good for you getting a flu shot, I wish more people would do it. I have been told that when it stings, it is not the contents of the injection, it is because the nurse did not let the alcohol swabbed skin dry first. The needle carries alcohol with it, that is what stings. Love the altered paper clips! I have never been a fan of paper clips, but these I like! After a rough week with a sick hubby, I am ready to spend the weekend at my craft desk, being “just like Gayle” 😀.

[@jeanstarr1758]

I love your videos!! Thank you so much! I am getting excited about trying to make a few of the altered paper clips!

[@venusiandesigns]

They came out really nice 😍

[@JessicaHarris]

These are so fun! But what I really love is the sugar pot storage thing!!!!

[@mylifewithfive]

Yes, and Gayle, where did you get the fabric fold out zipper pouch that holds your flowers? Too cute!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Kim Brown Mother’s Day gift from my daughter! ❤️

[@mylifewithfive]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct does she make them?

[@debbiebooker1407]

Great clips and great company!

[@jennyrainbowjt]

Love the Slide!!!!

[@dianeduncan5814]

Great video Gayle, love the altered paper clips xox

[@MsBuddy16]

think you have mastered the grommet tool! My mother was a commercial artist in the late 40's and early 50's. She would be amazed the way you turn these little ads into works of art! So Beautiful!

[@mm6643]

One of my favorite videos. 😂

[@fionarender286]

The idea with the greaseproof paper under the modge podge lid is brilliant! Stops me having to ask my husband to open it. I usually fast forward through videos but I find your videos really funny and informative. Thanks for the laughs! :)

[@helengough4599]

Loving these Gayle super cute 😊🤗

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

I love corrugated cardboard look. The napkin is amazing, something I had not thought of. ❤

[@sherriejohnson508]

Beautiful and very interesting

[@chrisjerger7842]

[@sandrastrobel1254]

[@elizabethsegaert4569]

[@donnaselwood1525]

It is just crazy how you went from forest fires to snow storms in just a matter of weeks! Love the paper clips.

[@nanmau6234]

Love these clips!

[@TheSDJan]

Love the corrugated cardboard clip! Looks like a painting on the corrugated roof of and old barn. They are all lovely but that is my favorite. TFS.

[@jetwasik1648]

So much fun!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Gayle! I have avalanches of stuff every day in my craft room :) My poor dog always seems to be right below it when t happens. Thankfully its only papers or fabric.. but he always gives me the"Look".. you know, the look :) Love the eyelet hinges! TFS! :) Love your channel! Pam :)

[@billiejoethomason6075]

I really like all your unique things you store things in. The zippered pouches, the sugar bowl & saucer, the suitcase 😍. Use what you have I say. Some cuter than others.

[@shirleybowers4099]

I love how you store all the bits and bobs. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing them,,,,

[@gailgsgoodies]

I use a braces dental floss threader for threading stuff in small holes. Works great! This video is from 4 years ago so you probably already know this tip.

[@JosJerseyJournals]

I absolutely love your style❤❤

[@tiasjunkpaper]

You give me so many good ideas, Gayle, I love it! I only recently discovered your channel, and I'm watching tons of your videos. I made two of these paperclips and was very happy with how they came out. I can't wait to try some of the other ideas. (First I have to find someone with slides who will let me steal the frame off one!)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Welcome to my channel, Theresa! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️

[@theresatubb75]

Gayle, just found you and I love everything you do. Very interesting and entertaining. That's all I've been doing all week and I did a few ephemeras as well. Thanks so much for sharing

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️

[@vickiejensen1265]

I love those altered paperclips! When I start making those, I'm kind of obsessed!! :) Thanks!

[@Freespiritarts]

Those are just adorable! I love this series! Thanks to whom ever asked for it!

[@mylifewithfive]

These are all so adorable! I love the corrugated one. It brought back memories of this painted washboard my mom had hanging in her kitchen when I was growing up. It had hooks at the bottom to hang keys on so the charms at the bottom just added to the flash back. I love it! Thanks again for sharing so many ideas.

[@litawalters4387]

These are so cute, I can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing Gayle. Have a great trip.

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

These are all adorable! Have to get caught up so I keep an idea book going. Thank you for such a great video.

[@katscraftcreation]

I love these Gail thanks for this series I’m enjoying it so much x

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

More fun altered paperclips! Love them! I love how you put the Stickles on the butterflies to give it a little shine/glitz. Enjoying this series so much. Especially how you innovate and change things up a bit to make the pieces your own. LOVE it! 😎🤗
