Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will show you this tutorial step-by-step.
Materials Needed
– colored paper (I used a white/pink transparent paper)
– paper clips
– glue
– scissors
– ruler
Step 1
Connect the paper clips together into a necklace.
Try it and see if it is the length you need it to be. Mine will have 14 paper clips.

Step 2.
Cut a piece of paper with a 2 cm width. You will see that is almost as big as the paper clip.
Make 13 rectangles of it, with 4 cm length. The 14th paper clip will be used to close the necklace, so it will stay as it is.
Step 3
Apply a layer of glue on one little rectangle…
… place it on one paper clip and wrap it around it.
It will look like this.
Step 4
Repeat step 3 for all the other little rectangles and the necklace is ready.
And, there you have it…. a Paper Clip Necklace. Doesn’t it turn out quite pretty? How did your Paper Clip Necklace turn out? Let me know in the comments below. Make sure to take a picture of it too…. you can post the picture with your comment for all to see.
