You need to start off by straightening the paperclips. Use the needle nose pliers and carefully unbend all of the paperclips you need. I used about 10 paperclips total. Once they are straight, you are going to need to cut them to size. I will show in the next step how to tell how big you want them, or you can cut one and see how it works and then go from there.



Mine were just under 1.5 in. or 3.7 cm. long. So I was able to get 2 pieces out of each paperclip with a bit leftover.
