You Will Need (6 things)

  • 2 x Vintage or New Tickets
  • Tacky Glue
  • 1 x Large Paperclip
  • Stickers
  • Vintage Ephemera
  • Scrapbook Embellishments

Steps (7 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Separate tickets and grab your paperclip.

  3. 3

    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. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    FINISHED! You now have a cute & functional Ticket Paperclip for your journal or project!
