paperclip folder

I have had this gift bag stashed away in my box of gift bags - for well over a decade. 

I purchased some jewellery when staying on Maui - when my family went to Hawaii for my mum's wedding. For some reason, I just couldn't get rid of it and it was a bit raggedy from transit so wasn't quite worthy of regifting either. 

After making my ephemera folder I was inspired to convert another bag into an improved an more appealing storage folder - this time for my paper clips that go into a handmade journal.

Sifting through the paperclips in a box I was using just wasn't working any more. 

This option is so much easier to use and flip through the pages to find a paperclip and add to a journal.
