Yes, I did it. I made a necklace out of paper clips. Is that too weird? Well, take a look. These were not ordinary paper clips but very COOL paper clips! I bought them, not having a clue what I'd do with them. One day I found my inspiration, creamy thread and a tiny crochet hook.
I picked them all up and went to work...
I used a chain stitch and hooked through each
clip at two different places so that it wouldn't
accidentally slip out the open side. I just kept
going until I felt happy with the result.
I tied it off, added a droplet of
super glue to the end knot and...
Twa La!
I thought it turned out very pretty.
It has kind of a fun and funky look I think.
Then, I decided I may as well make some paper clip earrings.
They look lovely on my tomato plant so hopefully they will look nice on someone's ears.
I put it all together and felt mighty happy with myself.
Feel free to copy this idea. Let me know what you come up with!
I'm so happy with it I am thinking of going to an
office supply store to see what else
I might want to crochet together!
Or maybe a hardware store!
Auto parts?
