I have this cheap binder clip from Amazon, which wasn’t actually cheap imo, but whatever. I like the cat. I’d like to keep using it, but the “brass” paint is rubbing off, and it smells like metal. I think it reacts with the oils in my hands or something. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks.

Is there something I can do to keep it looking nice and perhaps prevent it from wearing down so quickly?

    That sounds like a super cool project! Do you have pictures?

      I don’t, but all I did was buy a cut price of meteor and some decorative wire and pliers. Practiced wrapping it until it didn’t look awful, then dipped it in the lacquer.
