After looking at all the wonderful things on Pinterest, I have
decided to do one thing from that website every day for a year. There are so many projects, tips, and
activities that I think it will be a great way to become more creative and possibly
come up with some pins myself.
That being said, I am not the craftiest person around. I expect to have a lot of failures, but that
is the fun in trying new things. It’s
about having fun, but about perfection.
At least, that is what I am telling myself. It’s going to be my manta over the next year
as I am covered in glue and yarn.
For my first project, I decided to do something simple to
easy myself into this. There are
multiple pins of decorated clipboards. I
figured that it would be nice and simple since apparently so many people do
this. Here is one example.
I started out with a plain clip board. Being a substitute teacher, I use a clip
board almost every day.
I cut my paper and Modge-Podged it just as the directions
said. Unfortunately, I ended up with a
lot of bubbles in my paper. I tried to
smooth it out as best I could, but there are still several of them in
there. I guess my paper wasn’t thick
enough. Note: use thick paper.
I don’t know how they managed to make it look so
finished. I need to put ribbon around
the edges or something to hide the seams.
All in all, looks ok, but not nearly as good as other pins I have seen. The bubbles in the paper will be covered up
by anything I clip to it, so that’s not a big deal.
