My Clippy - Bags of Style Review

My Clippy is a creative set by Flair aimed at tweens and is inspired by designer Calypso Rose, the creator of Clippy stylish plastic bags and accessories.

Inside the My Clippy set there are sheets of printed paper, push out shapes and stencils along with cards to create the designs on, embossing tool and plastic bag and shoulder strap.

The bag itself is large enough to be used as a girls handbag, yet not too big so could also be used as a makeup bag or pencil case.

The idea is to decorate the cards with the paper and shapes included, as well as adding photos if desired. When the cards are decorated they can be slotted into the clear  pockets in the bag and displayed for everyone to see. If you get fed up of that design they can be easily removed and replaced with new ones.

Hanna loves creative things, cutting up paper and leaving a trail of paper scraps behind her is her favourite pastime so her eyes lit up when she saw the My Clippy.

She was kept busy for around an hour cutting, designing and gluing her designs onto the cards and now intends to use the bag as a pencil case at school - there will be no mistaking that it's her bag with a photo of her, Poppy & Jack adorning it.

The set includes 6 different sheets of pretty printed paper, 3 sheets of cutout shapes, an embossing tool, a workstation to hold the card whilst you're working on it, 10 blank cards and the bag, which is clear plastic with silver detachable handle and trim.

My Clippy Bags of Style retails for around £15 but is currently available for £10.99 in Smyths Toys and £11.24 in Argos.

The set doesn't include any glue but works well with either PVA glue or a glue stick, or even sticky tape.
