Bask in the glory of a homemade paperclip!

There were only three designs that worked really well for me.

Simple straight and curved lines. (if you did the google search, you saw a bunch of these. You saw them for a reason, they work very well!)

The instructables hand (there's an eps version on the site that I tweaked a bit).  I found the need to add small straight lines at the end of each of the files I was cutting to give the paper a place to sit.  (See the pictures below for what I'm talking about)

All of the designs I used (that worked) are available in the .eps file linked below.
