Artful Binder Clip Phone Stand

Knowing that I love binder clips and use them for everything, my Mom sent me a link to this brilliant video all about the cool things you can do with binder clips:

I particularly loved the little phone holder stand that was demonstrated in the video, but I wanted to make it a little bit prettier!

STEP ONE: I needed to widen the metal clips on the binder clips in order to fit my phone and case.  I used a ring mandrel and raw hide hammer.

STEP TWO: I decorated a piece of deli paper with stencils, stamps, acrylic paint, and pens.

STEP THREE: I measured the binder clips and applied the deli paper to them with gel medium.

STEP FOUR: I decorated a hotel room key with the same paper, once again using gel medium to adhere it.  I trimmed the paper from the rounded corners of the card for a neat result.

Then, all I had to do was let it dry and assemble my cute and quirky little binder clip phone stand!

Super cute and functional!  I hope you'll give creating a colorful little phone stand a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
