Sarah Khandjian, of the blog Sarah Hearts, shows you how to make a stylish and unique fabric clipboard in 8 easy steps.
One of my favorite things about back to school time was always picking out the perfect school supplies! I still haven't grown out of my love for beautiful office supplies, so I decided to create a custom clipboard using some of my favorite fabric. This is a simple way to instantly customize and transform a plain clipboard. It's also a great way to give life to an old clipboard.
To make your own fabric covered clipboard, you will need:
Fabric scrap about 1 inch larger on all sides than the clipboard, ironed
1. Gather your supplies! Make sure the fabric is smooth and wrinkle free.
2. Use a pencil to mark the fabric to indicate where the metal clip is. Use scissors to carefully the top of the fabric, around the metal clip.
3. Brush a thick coat of Mod Podge over the entire front of the clipboard.
4. Place the fabric on top of the wet Mod Podge. Use your hands to smooth out any wrinkles. You can also gently pull on the edges of the fabric to remove wrinkles.
5. While the glue is still wet, brush another coat directly on top of the fabric.
6. Brush the Mod Podge about 1/4 inch or more past the edges of the clipboard. This will make it easier to cut it's once dry.
7. Wait for the Mod Podge to dry completely. Once dry, place the clipboard face down on the cutting mat and use the X-Acto knife to carefully cut along the edges of the board.
8. Flip the clipboard face up and continue cutting around the perimeter. Clean up any edges that may need to be trimmed and you're done!
