Jumbo paper clip measurement

[firequeen]

I want to make some jumbo paper clip bookmarks. The paperclips I saw at Target were listed as jumbo but they seemed pretty small to me. Does anyone have any actual measurements for the size clip I need? Thanks.

the huge ones are 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.

4" long are the ones you want.
Wal-Mart has a box of 15 for .97cents. Silver. They are in the office supply area. I checked for weeks ...and one day they magically appeared. So I bought 5 boxes! Great for trades!!

I haven't seen the huge ones at walmart or target in a long time.

Thanks, now at least I know what I am looking for!

I bought some at WalMart but they are smaller than 4 inches-maybe about 2 1/2-3 "-they are silver-do you think they would work but with smaller chipboard diecuts?

the smaller ones from walmart do work. I have been using those too but I prefer the huge ones.

I bought mine at Office Depot. You might want to try there.

The wal-mart ones are 3.5 inches and they do work.
