Well, school is out and the kids are home, so I thought that I would post a really easy Christmas Paperclip kids project that can be used to decorate their notebooks & planners, mark a page in their book, or for them to make as stocking stuffers.

The supplies for this one are fairly easy - you just need a set of stickers that are symmetrical in shape so you can align them when you stick them back to back.  I chose a pack of snow globe shaker stickers because the are easy to align and the shaker part makes them fun for the kids to shake.

Supplies:

  • Paperclips
  • Symmetrical Christmas Stickers (such as snow globes)

Step 1:

Remove the snow globe stickers from their packaging.

Step 2:

Place a sticker face down with the sticky side up. Carefully place the paperclip onto the adhesive.

Step 3:

To finish, place another snow globe sticker directly on top of that sticker. Please make sure to align the stickers before pressing them firmly together.

(If you are worried about the adhesive on your stickers holding, use a dot of a strong liquid glue like Glossy Accents in the area of the paperclip before pressing the second sticker on top.)

Step 3: Align and stick the stickers together.

Now you have a two sided snow globe shaker paperclip that can be used to decorate notebooks and planners!

This is a simple and fun project that the kids can do themselves! My kids are adding them to gift tags and Christmas cards (we deliver some personally instead of mailing them).

Christmas is a great time for crafting with kids...what are you and yours making this holiday season?
