away with two paper clips!

Steps

1. Obtain a rubber band of medium elasticity and two paper clips.
2. Connect the paper clips as if making a paper clip chain.
3. Put the rubber band on your index finger and thumb.
4. Stretch out the rubber band in order to make a "bow".
5. Wrap the connected paper clips around the bow.
6. Pull the clips back (just like a bow and arrow)then release.

Pen method

1. Unfold the paperclip into a straight line. Bend the paperclip into a so it resembles the letter 'C'.
2. Take apart the pen.
3. Take out the spring and ink tube, and use only them.
4. Stretch the spring to attach to the bottom of the 'C' and the top of the 'C'.
5. Bend the tips of the 'C' over the spring to keep it place.
6. Take the ink tube and link it on the spring (just set the back of the tube on the spring.)
7. Pull back and release!
