I'm using one as a money clip. My bills are folded between a laminated million dollar bill. The clips are high quality, and very strong. I really like the gold plating on the folding handles. The pic doesn't do them justice.I use these on cash that I pay to people who provide services...yard; hair; cleaning, etc.They always get a delighted response, and people say that they save them and use them on special things at home or in their offices.I bought these for my sister-in-law as part of a "bling up your office" package that included a rhinestone computer mouse, stapler, pens, etc. They were even nicer than I thought. They are as functional as they are pretty. They work well and the colors are sparkly and gorgeous. They also come very nicely packaged for gift giving. She told me she loves them and uses them when she turns in expense reports at work. Everyone compliments her on them. Highly recommended.I love office products that add style and these do. They work just as good as the others I've purchased which is good.Beautiful clips, very sturdy and excellent packaging. Only bad thing is the misleading advertising saying that it comes with 6 of each color. When I got them, I only had 12 clips instead of the beautiful selection of each color, I got 4 black, 3 light pink, 1 dark pink, 2 light blue and 2 white.These are very cute and sparkly. They just weren't for me. The rough texture bugged me. But I gave them away and the other person loves them.These binder clips are super cute, high quality and I love them so much: you can use to hold pictures, use it as a decoration, etc. love it!These binder clips are the perfect accent in my classroom. The colors are vibrant with a lot of sparkle!
