This is a great (and really simple) project to hold your spare paperclips!

Materials

To make one brick, you will need one 2x2 or other 2x4 brick, 2 to 4 small magnets, and (optional of your magnets fit in snugly in step 2) a hot glue gun.

Putting in the Magnets

Take your "empty" brick and stick 2 to 4 of your magnets in each corner, if you decide to put in 2  I have, make sure to put them across from them so the brick will hold more paperclips.

Securing the Magnets (optional)

If your magnets fall out when you turn the brick upside down, simply add a little hot glue in each corner where there is a magnet.

Add Paperclips!

If you add bricks onto a plate, you can make a nice decorative paperclip holder!  Thank you for viewing this instructable!  If you enjoyed it, please vote for it in the "Toy Building Block" contest!!
