Bracelet and Paperclip Trick

by Judy Larson
Clasps are not always easy to work one-handed, making putting on and taking off bracelets difficult. Enter the lowly paper clip. Use large, coated paper clips if you are concerned that the ridges on some plain metal paper clips could scratch your jewelry.
Instructions
Open a paper clip up as shown. Either way is fine.
