A fun stocking stuffer idea -- fabric covered binder clips


J. made these with strawberry prints because I collect strawberries!
While working in the kitchen this morning, I was musing on what to share here today.  I happened to be mixing up a batch of gluten free all purpose flours, and as I closed up the bags of the various components, I thought about what I was using for bag closures.  Some years ago, my friend J. had made some lovely fabric covered binder clips.  They work beautifully for closing up any bag.  I thought they would make nice stocking stuffers and would be useful for almost anyone.  So here is a link to a tutorial: Fabric covered binder clips.  Here is the photo from the tutorial which I think is quite a bit clearer than my own photo:

You could suit the fabric to the various recipients and use prints that reflect their tastes or interests.  Have fun with this idea!

  2. Isn't it? I would never have thought of doing this and was just amazed at how cute they were when my friend gave me a half dozen or so. Now I want to make some!
