Bumble Bee Paper Clips

 Happy New Year - Here is to more posts and crafting more.

Lets start off with a pair of Bumble Bee Paper Clips, I used taylore expressions Critter Clips - Valentine and paired that with the Stamps of Life card stock and some Silver Glitter paper from my Stash.


This is the Die Set I used - Critter Clips - Valentines from taylore expressions

My tray is from a Crop & Create event I attended last year I believe.
I cut out from the Stamps of Life Sunshine, Licorice, and Silver Glitter (from my stash)
I cut out each set of bodys four times
I used tweezers and some Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere the body parts.

The bumble bee body

I used a glue gun to adhere the black paper clip.
I used Stampin Up dimensionals to build up and not create a damn when you place the second body on top.
More glue on the dimensionals.

I put the other body pieces on and then placed the main body on top.
Then I realized I needed to cut one more tail and head to match the front.
I glued that on top so it would match on both sides.

Finished Clips.
