So I picked up this clipboard from the dollar spot in Target a few weeks ago.
It wasn't cute or anything. But I knew I could make it look good! And it was the perfect {small} size for a daily to-do list I've been using.
So first I spray painted the metal with some ORB {oil rubbed bronze}. Love that stuff.
Next, I picked out some scrapbook paper and then measured and cut it out. Mod Podged it on the clipboard. After it dried, I did a few layers on Mod Podge on top to protect it.
Done.
I love the look of the ORB for the clip part versus the shiny metal.
The prfect size! Fits a half sheet of 8.5 X 11 sized paper.
Small = Cute!
:)
I've been using and lovin' this little clipboard.
And for my fav, the before and after.
Total cost- $1 for the clipboard.
I had everything else on hand.
Dontcha love when that happens?!

And I thought I was the only person crazy enough to makeover a clipboard and blog about it! :-)

Looks great! I re-covered the same clipboard for my DVD storage!
WOW! Great job, Jenna! Super cute idea!!
I've recovered clipboards but never spray painted one. It really does make a difference though.
Love it! Wonder if I have any old clip boards laying around.
Awesome and so much cuter! Love the funky green and ORB.

I like the before AND the after, but what is so great about this is that you personalized it to something that you really like. Good use of mod podge skillz! (Here from Handy Man, Crafty Woman)
