We always want to tat something practical, I think tatting onto a paper clip is really a great idea.
It’s fast to make and cute to use.

You can use any side of paper clip you like, but if you have smaller clips like 1 1/4” size, I will suggest to use size 20 or 40 thread.
If you have 2” or 3” size paper clips, you can use size 20 or 10 thread.
However, I tried size 10 thread, it doesn’t look as elegant as size 20 thread.

I think metallic thread looks great too, so, play around with different threads and get different results.
