Altered Paper Clip Charm Foil Wrapped - Tutorial

This another of my cheap, fast and easy projects. Using a paper clip, a bit of painted foil, some wire and some garage sale charms, I created a couple of paper clip beads. You can use these as a bead for a necklace or embellishment charms on your junk journal. I also think it would be a great Grandma camp type project.
This inspiration came from Paula Foerder.
This necklace and a few more are for sale in my etsy shop.

I bet your kitty loved all your craft treasures! My kitty is spoiled rotten. She is 9 years old. They can be so much fun.

She is a mess!!! Thanks so much for watching

[@Designsbyizzi]

Awesome idea!

[@mywithallmyart]

Thanks!!!

[@cynthiagreske5957]

I really liked how you made a whole bunch of altered paper clips and how cute they turned out! What I love most of all about your video is all your cat is a Intercal part of your crafting! She looks like a cat I had for 14 years! Keep up the good work.

[@mywithallmyart]

Thanks, Cynthia!!! My Kitty No is happiest right smack in the middle of my projects!

[@FloridianGail]

Super cute, I don't know what it is with wire but I can never make it do what I want, but I have to try this!

[@mywithallmyart]

Gail, you might try the really soft wire from the WalMart jewelry section. It is usually in a bin on the bottom shelf. 98 cents a roll. I can almost shape it with my fingers. Try that!

[@liliufreitaslopes6881]

Wonderfful. Thanks friend. 👏👏👏👏👏😘💚🌷🇧🇷

[@mywithallmyart]

So glad you liked it!!!

[@kayw9274]

"She's super in the way", that made me laugh!! I'm a cat lover so I know the feeling. Would love to have seen her sweet face. Oh the doo-lollies was a chuckle too! Such an inventive thing you thought of. I love it! Score on the charms!
