How to Build With Binder Clips
- 1). Examine your binder clips and decide what you want to build. You can make a simple cell phone stand or create something as complicated as a polyhedron. Fold the handles up and down and slide them inside each other to see how they fit together.
- 2). Make a simple polyhedron by folding the right handle of each of your binder clips down. Slide the upright handle of one binder clip through the handle of a second clip. Slide the handle of the second clip through a third and so on until you have up to 10 binder clips in a circle.
- 3). Create up to 10 more polyhedra (the number of shapes should match the number of sides in your shape) and connect them with the down-ward folded handles to create a sphere.
- 4). Use up your leftover binder clips to make a cell phone stand. Squeeze open a binder clip and slide the back of a second clip into the first. Flip the top handle of the second clip up and the other clip down. Flip both handles of the first binder clip down. The construction should look a little like a lawn chair.
