Altered Paperclips

Altered Paperclips Tutorial

Altered Paperclips

Today I’m sharing an Altered Paperclips Tutorial. This October Challenge in the Friendly Junk Journal People Facebook Group. Altered paperclips are a great way to attach items in your journal that you can remove.

Live Creating Altered Paperclips Video on YouTube. In this video I’ll show different ideas of how to create these paperclips as well as how to laugh at technology! LOL

Supplies Used:
Some of the easiest altered paperclips are using fabric and fibers. In the examples below the fabric and fibers were pulled through the paperclip and then machine stitched. If you don’t have a sewing machine, these could also be hand sewn, glued or even stapled. Think creatively and find new ways to create your own version of Altered Paperclips.
