Paperclip Monster!

It's a monster or insect-type thing that I've made out of paperclips earlier today. But it's awesome- everyone I showed it to wants one now. They're really cool, fun and easy to make, and just with a few paperclips and about 10 minutes of your time!

All you'll need is 2 large paperclips, less than ten small paperclips, and maybe something to help hold it's body while you're working. (Like the funky scissors I have in that picture. I forgot what they're called!)

Step 1 Legs

Unbend the two large paperclips, and bend the end back over the paperclip. (Like in the picture.) Then, hook the two loops you made when you bend them together.
Bend the paperclips wherever you want the legs to bend. :) I usually do them about an inch and a half to two inches down.

I am having some trouble with the body, what do i use to wrap the paperclips around?

The front legs and antennae keep flopping around.

Lots of fun. "Funky Scissors" are hemostats (used by doctors).

Thanks! I couldn't think of any other way to explain the legs..I'll try and make it more understandable. And I think I have another picture, too, of how you hook them together. Hmm..
