Do you all use them? If so, how? Can you share examples?
I don't use them due to the bulk it adds, but I'd love to see someone actually use them. I figured they were on the way out I see that clothes pins are still around, too. That surprises me.

The paperclips are really popular with the planner girls. I don't use them much on my current scrapbook pages, although I have in the past.
I've never used clothespins on a page though. Too bulky for me.

Yep, I use them, but only the mini ones from Tim Holtz. They're small enough that they don't add bulk to pages.

I use them on pages, I don't mind the bulk. I tend to either just put them at the top edge of the page or on an element, like a journal card, that is already popped out with pop dots. So then it's not really sticking out.
I'm not a planner person, but I use them in my version of bullet journal/tracker to mark off different pages, separate, etc.

I use the little TH ones too. No clothespins, too bulky for me as well!

I don’t use them now but I did years ago when the office supply look was trendy. I used mine more as embellishments to make it look like I was clipping stickers, phrases etc. to my photos. In reality all the stuff was actually glued on since paper clips are notorious for slipping.

I hate all clips. They drive me crazy.
I pull the little embellishment off the top and just use it if I ever get any.

I have quite a few shaped clips in my stash. Have used some arrow shaped ones. Some of the others are harder to use: when you slip them onto a journal card or photo, you lose the effect of the image. A couple of times I have glued an @ shaped clip right on top of the CS as part of a title. I like the look of the traditionally shaped paper clips with the tufts of ribbon and other embellishments on them, but have never figured out how to either assemble them or use them... something like THIS |

In one of the studio calico mega sales I received the pink unicorn clip. I went back through my album and attached it to my unicorn Frappuccino card. Who knew I’d have the perfect use for that?!

If they're decorative with something on them, I like to add them to elements within my cluster or put them at the top of the page if they're really bulky. I also like to tie a piece of twine to the clip part that is seen. For the shaped ones, I add to clusters too. I also just put them on top of journaling cards (usually my printed PLapp designed pages), but also like to add a couple of stitches or staples to either side of the clip. I also like to use wet glue or a rolled glue dot to adhere. With a twine added to the top one, clips added into 2 of the clusters.

 For really bulky like this one, I like to have them go off the top. |
