umm... though not impossible.. paperclips are just not practical..
... if anything... you can modify and make picks/tension tools.. out of
binder clips... not paper clips.
i have a few binder clip picks i made.. and bicycle spokes are also an ok material if you can get it... hacksaw blades and the aforementioned materials would be better.
as far as a topic of listings a newbie can read over.... there such exists a topic already.
