This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.

Will paper float or sink in water?
Dry paper is less dense than water and will float. But paper is absorbent: when in contact with water, it will start to absorb water into its fibers. This increases the density, so eventually it becomes saturated and sinks. Paper boats can be made, where only a small portion of the sheet is touching the water, slowing the absorption rate and allowing it to float much longer.
