Easy DIY Bow Paper Clips


These are a great way to dress up boring papers at home or the office!

What you'll need:
Ribbon ( I used mini ribbon - $0.99 at Joann's or Micheal's)
Teeny tiny rubber bands (dollar store hair section)
Paper clips ( I used small, large would be equally pretty and allow you to use larger ribbon)
Scissors
Glue




 First you cut your ribbon into small pieces (for small ones use about 2.5 inches). It took me some trial and error to get the length right. 


Wrap the ribbon around as shown.



Pinch the middle as shown so it begins to resemble a real bow.



Cinch the middle with your rubber band.  



Loop your paper clip through the rubber band on the backside of the bow. 
Take a smaller piece of ribbon and wrap around the middle. Secure with glue ( I used hot glue but crazy glue would work as well).


Very cute addition to gift envelopes or as an actual gift! I gave mine to coworkers and friends (hopefully they liked them!)
