    Hi, Thank you so much for this tutorial, you are fabulous and you make it so easy to follow. This is by far the best way I've come across and so glad I found you. I am now so addicted to making these book marks lol

    These are a fantastic little gift to include with a handmade greeting card. While the card may be tucked away after the occasion, the little matching/coordinating bookmark can continue to be used and a reminder of the card and the giver's love. Thank you so kindly! Blessings.

    Grabbed a couple of 6 x 6 paper pads and made about 50 of these! So much fun! Put my ribbons and pretty seam binding to good use. Using pretty papers mean you don't have to stress about adding embellishments. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

    • @TheArtfulAddict

    Hi Gina! I had finally organized my craft room while watching your video in the background. So much for organizing! I now have paper scraps and all sorts of ephemera spread around my studio. For those of you who haven't tried this tutorial - go for it. It truly is easy and the final products are beautiful. I made bookmarks that slide in from the top, but I also made bookmarks that slide in from the side and have a pocket or a small notepad on the front. You can really get creative with this!

You take it slowly step-by-step and don't take up too much time with chatter - you just get to it. These book marks are a good way to start and they can easily be adjusted to the size of paperclips you have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

    This is the MOST useful decorated paper clip tutorial ever!!! It's a fantastic scrap buster, way to use the small-scale embellishments, and a fantastic showcase for the beautiful but tiny rubber stamps! I am planning to use some of my handmade paper and pieces of masterboards, tiny ribbon scraps, beads, basically all the bits and bobs that I can't envision on bigger cards or projects. This has made me very happy!

    Thanks for your great and easy to follow video on altered paper clips! I'm fairly new to making journals and want to learn as much as possible about making ephemera to add to them. I heard the width of the paper, but missed how long to cut the paper...

    • @TheArtfulAddict

  • @rhondahunt9888
    @rhondahunt9888 2 года назад +6

    Liked the paper clips. I’ve made some but love the slot idea on top piece of paper! Also, it just occurred to me that it might also be good to stagger the front length sorter so it is a tad easier to paper clip besides being maybe more recognized as a paper clip. What say you? Since they end up on two separate sides it won’t matter but this might mean double-sided paper is better used.

    • @TheArtfulAddict
      @TheArtfulAddict  2 года назад +2

      Hi Rhonda, so glad you enjoyed the video. Staggering the front length shorter is a great variation and would work welll. It would also work if the back length was staggered. I've used the staggered approach on altered paperclips before, but it didn't dawn on me this time. Good catch!

    • @barbara-dj1uo
      @barbara-dj1uo 2 года назад +2

      I’ve seen where you do leave a bit of the paper clip sticking up, as you suggested, and then you can add a little dangle of beads/charms attached to paper clip tip with a teeny safety pin or little clasp.

    • @TheArtfulAddict
      @TheArtfulAddict  2 года назад

      Absolutely, a little dangle would be really cute, especially used in a journal!

      Thank you! Although, the basic design was not my original idea. My contribution was adding the fabric topper. 😁

    I know it's 2 years later, but I just made one of these and I love them. Thank you so much. They're adorable!

      Great! No worries, it's my most popular video so I frequently get comments about it. They really are a lot of fun to make; I'm so glad you enjoy them. I also made a similar hidden paperclip video using a circle punch, which is super easy!!
