1. On a piece ow white paper, use Crayola Markers to color designs, swirls and mix colors.

2. Use Crayola Scissors to cut the paper into strips that are almost as wide as the length of your paper clips. Cut the strips at least three times as long as the paper clip width.

3. Place strips upside down. Cover the back of a strip with glue from a Crayola Glue Stick. Wrap the strip around a paper clip, leaving some space at either end.

4. Attach another paper clip to the first one. Glue another colored strip to the new clip. Repeat as many times as you like. Mix large, small, and colored clips for interesting effects. Attach the final paper clip to the first one before you glue on the paper.
