Clipboard Semi-Tutorial
If you want to make your own clipboard, it was pretty easy. I started with a cabinet door. (Mine was actually a handmade sign that I already owned). You could use any kind of scrap wood but the cabinet doors have built-in interest with the beveled edges, etc. Simply use craft paint and/or Modge Podge-d scrapbook paper to cover.
I used a clothes pin with a simple bow hot glued to it. I have seen all these cute ways of making fabric rosettes lately which made me think to sort of do that only with jute. I then glued the little swirl to the knot of the bow. I also glued some jute around one of the beveled edges.
Then I took two little wooden rectangles which were 47 cents each and sprayed them with chalkboard paint. I glued them back to back and added jute twine around the edge to finish it off.
I thought it could also be cute just to use one side and count down the days till Christmas. Sorry, that wasn't a very good tutorial...I need a tutorial on how to do a good tutorial.
Thanks so much for sharing how to make this...it's almost as good as winning one. I am so loving this TWOC, and your blog. Thanks again...have a great day.

OH! I did not mention the reason I used two little chalkboard things is because I had to glue down the little handle inbetween them. Make sense?
