I have tried to make a jewellery set using translucent (Colored and coated with plastic) gem clips.From a multi colored pack I have chosen 2 colors for this project. I have made a pair of earrings and a bracelet.  By just changing the length, this technique can be used to make an anklet and neck piece as well.

Materials Required:

1.Gem Clips
2.Round Nose plier. But I just used a cutting plier. Round nose plier is easier to bend the wires for beginners.
3.Clasps- Earring Hooks, Fastening clasp of your choice for bracelet.

Are the clip ends pokey when you wear them?

No they r not. 1. coz it has a plastic coat. 2. The end goes inside when you twist it. If you still feel the finish of the gemclips ends are not smooth, you can smoothen it using file or an emery paper. Mostly this wont be required.

Wow I never would of coloured paper clips looking so nice, but wow I make this pretty cheap several times and it would be worth it then some. Cool thanks for sharing.

That is really pretty, I would have never guessed that it was made from paperclips.
