If you have read my blog, you know that I love adding a little something extra to all my office supplies. I have turned several pencils, notebooks, and pairs of scissors into craft projects. There is no way I can leave anything in my home bare.
I bought a couple of clipboards several weeks ago from a dollar store. They were very cheap and plain. I decided to decoupage fabric on the clipboards to give them a more fun look.
Check out the easy tutorial below!
Supplies:
- Clipboard
- Fabric
- Decoupage Glue
- Scissors
- Paint Brush
Instructions:
- Cut enough fabric to cover the clipboard, then iron the fabric to remove wrinkles.
- Apply 1-2 coats of decoupage glue on the front of the clipboard with a paint brush.
- Adhere the fabric on the clipboard. Use your fingers or the paint brush to help smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric.
- Use a pair of scissors or an Xacto knife to cut excess fabric and to trim the fabric around the clip.
- The board is ready to use once the glue dries.
Here is my other clipboard:
I love how bright and colorful these clipboards are! I try to use at least one of them as much as possible. I think these boards make awesome gifts for the school year. You can give them to both teachers and students. People really do appreciate thoughtful, handmade gifts.
Love the prints, good idea!
those look fantastic i love added touches like this!
