Paper Mechanical Iris

Step 7 Cut and glue on the paperclips

Using the snippers, cut the paperclip into these sizes:
6 each and each about 7 mm(close to exact)
Another 6 each and each about 10mm(it could vary, but not much)
Sorry for the conversion(inches to milimeters) The milimeters are more exact

In the picture,the top one, the paper clip to the left is the 10mm and on the bottom one the one to the right is the 7mm one
Then put the paper clip pieces through the holes you made and use super glue to secure the hold of the paper clip to segment

Thanks for using milimeters, rather than the American Middle Age system!
The rest of the world has been using the metric system since the 1800s.

I use either ones, whichever is closest to the object that I am trying to measure.
