Well hello and where has the bloody week gone? I’ve got another DIY Stationery project to share and it’s all about these gold index clips. I love flipping through books and organizing my stuff, and it’s been way too long since I made something to organize my life. These gold clips are made out of chipboard and printable gold foil. Want to make your own? I’ve outlined how I made the shape below, so that you can make your own too.
The What
- Silhouette cutting machine
- Silhouette Studio
- Cutting mat
- Chipboard or sturdy Cardstock
- Glue
- Gold Foil

The How
- Open a new file in Silhouette Studio
- Create a rounded rectangle. Tip: Play with the points on the left corner to sharpen or round out the edge
- Use the Line tool to create the shape below in the rounded rectangle. Select the lines and Create a Compound Path
- Thicken the combined lines, then trace
- Remove the original line and leave the traced shape
- Use the text tool to add your numbers. I used American Typewriter
- Arrange on your page and load chipboard onto your Silhouette. Now send to print using chipboard setting(s)
- Now load gold foil. To make your clips double sided, create mirrored images, then send to cut using printable gold foil setting(s)
- Assemble your clips – adhere your gold foil shape onto the matching chipboard clip
Now you have some lovely gold clips to add to your stationery collection! How will you use them?
