This is such a simple project that you can either embellish or leave plain! No matter what you choose, both look great & are totally functional too!

Instructions

  1. Small 2020 04 09 165932 59265bdd c3b1 437d 9797 69deef440f8b

    Gather your supplies. Be sure you use the correct size paperclip. It should be just slightly smaller than your tickets.

  2. Small 2020 04 09 165942 5ddd81ae 704f 4b71 8814 772e60ab99bd

    Separate tickets and grab your paperclip.

  3. Small 2020 04 09 170000 229398c1 8186 4be4 89a2 bbad155169d3

    Slide the paperclip onto one of the tickets. You’ll want the shorter side to be on the blank side of the ticket and the longer one to be on the number side of the ticket.

  4. Small 2020 04 10 134452 2f979fba 58cd 471d ba1c 9cdd4c9a139b

    Add tacky glue around the edges and towards the bottom of the blank side of the ticket, as shown here.

  5. Small 2020 04 10 135023 73aeabb9 653e 4d9a bb40 4467daa39fc8

    Attach the second ticket so the number side faces up and the blank side is glued down.

  6. Small 2020 04 10 135036 6b9e2610 2ba8 4e3e b019 f859ff57c38e
