To magnetize a paper clip, you can stroke it with a magnet in one direction repeatedly. Make sure to lift the magnet away from the clip each time rather than moving it back and forth, as this helps align the magnetic domains in the paper clip. After several strokes, the paper clip should become magnetized and able to attract small metal objects.
