One of my favorite past times is creating all different types of clips to decorate my journals and planners. Depending on what style is utilized, they can be added to virtually anything as the perfect accent or finishing touch. Each of these items are bits, baubles, and scraps that were left over from other projects(idk, I find I'm the most creative when I'm challenged to use what I already have!). The bows can be made using free printable templates that can be found on Google, however, I prefer a simple freehand method, in which I linked a video below to show that process(Shout out to Xao Vang!). Please comment below and share your finished projects!

Supplies:
- Large and Jumbo Paper Clips in Various Colors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Felt
- 3D Stickers of Choice
- Medium Size Pom Poms
- Scrapbook Paper
- Stick on Rhinestone sheet
- Rhinestone Border(optional)
As for your Pom Pom clips, you want to move the fuzzy yarn at the bottom, in an attempt to get to the Pom Pom center(it's totally OK if you can't reach the center!). This is where you want to place your dollop of glue from the hot glue gun, between the separated fibers, placing your paperclip of choice at the center of the glue, pressing both sides together. The top of the paperclip should be completely hidden if placed correctly.
To create a hidden paperclip that will slide in from the side, you will cut a piece of felt just slightly larger than the paper clip itself on either side, creating a rectangle. Slide this under the inner lip of the paper clip. Cover the rectangle and lip of the paper clip from top to bottom with hot glue. Place your 3D sticker of choice on top, being careful to place it where it is you want it to end on the page. Press together for 5 seconds.
💋You can utilize the rhinestone border as a quick and easy way to add the finishing touches to the center of a bow. A large, singular rhinestone sticker can also be used in it's place; let your imagination take over....
