Make your own planner stickers!

I ordered the Little Edibles set from Mama Elephant.  I love this set, all the images are so adorable.  I have a few ideas on what I want to do with these, but first off I made tab stickers.  I water colored the background with my distress inks first.  After that dried I went in with the stamps and inked them with archival ink from Ranger.  Now, when I need them, I can just grab them!  

I can't wait to make more sticker sets.  I think next I will stamp mini circle stickers. I order all of my Avery labels from Amazon. 

DIY affordable paper clips!

Who doesn't love cute paperclips right?  But buying them hand made on etsy can be expensive.  Here's a cheap and quick way to create your own super cute paperclips for your planner or whatever you use them for!    

I went to Michaels and got some 2-d stickers on sale for 40% off.  They had an additional 25% on top of that!  Less than 2 bucks for super cute owl stickers. 

I had some gold paper clips I ordered from Amazon a while back.  But you could use whatever you have on hand.  

So I used a circle punch to cut out small circles to cover the back.  I sandwiches the paperclip together with the sticker and the circle.  

Voila!  You are done!  No brainer right?  I think these look adorable in my planner and for 2 bucks, I have 9 clips I can package up and gift them for friends too. I hope you enjoyed my super quick and easy tutorial for affordable cute paper clips!
