First off, I'd like to apologize for not having a food craft this Friday. I think my cooking skills got all used up on my special Valentine's Breakfast posts, but fear not I will be back with more yummy food for you next Friday.
In the meantime, I'd like to address my borderline unhealthy addiction to cute office supplies. In particular, binder clips. They are absolutely my favorite office supply. Regular paper clips, even in fancy shapes, just can't hold a candle to binder clips. So I decided to break out the Mod Podge and some paper and fabric scraps to pretty up some of my favorite office supply!
All you need to do is make sure you have clean binder clips, and then brush a think coat of Mod Podge onto your binder clip, place on your paper or fabric then seal with more Mod Podge. I'm thinking or painting my binder clip edges (the parts still in black) with some nail polish to make them even more awesome!
What do you think, should I keep these in a dish instead of candy? Do you have any serious obsessions with office supplies (I'm also a fan of colored staples and tiny notebooks)? Have you ever tried to make an office supply extra pretty? I'd love to hear all about it!
Great tutorial! I've always wanted to get some of pretty binder clips but they're so pricey at the office supply store. Now I know how to make them super cute on the cheap.
ReplyDeleteBut my latest office supply obsession are these Hello Kitty paperclips. They look like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Kitty-Die-Paper-Clip/dp/B004ZZSDKK
Those are pretty great! Due to all things Hello Kitty, I try to avoid the mall downtown that has a Sanrio store. My finances thank me daily.
DeleteI love office supplies too, especially paper... I recently saw a pin on Pinterest where you use a permanent marker to color staples-------it's so simple and cheaper than buying color staples...
ReplyDeleteI love fancy papers, and the smell of paper stores. Is that weird? We have a great paper store here called Oblation, they make a bunch of artisan papers, it's amazing (if a little too pricey for me to get much there on the regular).
DeleteI, too, am addicted to cute office supplies. Cute scissors, cute sticky notes, cute whatever. It's unhealthy & I love it :) I'm going to try this and covering my meeting-minutes binder in this great vintage pillow case I bought from a thrift shop yesterday! Thanks for the tip!
