Rae’s Hide & Seek Interactive Hidden Paper Clip Kit

Can You Find Rae?

Rae is always finding a new place to explore, and this time she is hiding inside a charming set of interactive paper clips.

Rae’s Hide & Seek Interactive Hidden Paper Clip Kit is part of the Ruffled Feather Haven: Country Blooms & Happy Hens Collection. This playful paper craft project lets you create three decorative hidden paper clips for junk journals, folios, planners, mini albums, memory keepers, and handmade gifts.

Unlike an ordinary paper clip, the metal clip is concealed inside a beautifully decorated paper base and cover. Slip the finished piece over a journal page, pocket, tag, or photograph to create a functional embellishment that looks like a tiny interactive paper project.

Each design features coordinated farmhouse papers, colorful country flowers, cheerful chickens, and a different little hiding place for Rae. Add the included pockets, tags, labels, faux postage stamps, and journaling pieces to make each clip uniquely your own.

Choose the Digital Download to print the project at home, the Paper Kit Only to receive the project pages printed for you, or the Paper Kit + Embellishments for printed pages and coordinating creative accents.

A step-by-step YouTube tutorial is included with every option.
