Did anyone see my post yesterday about a boring old clipboard? Post is here.
Anyway these 2 clipboards started their life off looking like this
So I took some of this
And with 2 coats on each side and 12 hours drying time they now look like this.
For my Daughter, who chose DCWV Safari stack papers.
And for my son who chose Crate paper aliens, but didn't want any extra pictures like his sisters!
So easy to do, although the hardest bit I have so far found is finding a shop on the high street which sells Wooden clipboards, and another which sells chalk!!!
If anyone would like to make these I shall make it a little easier for you.
Clipboards from this eBay seller
Chalk from Wilkos (white only!)
Coloured Chalk from eBay (various sellers have a look for what you will need)
Blackboard paint from Wilkos
The children love them, my OH loves them, I am chuffed with them.
OH however often just looks at me like I am crazy, but he will see in a few days time when the children are occupied on the 7 hour journey from Blyth to Cornwall for our holidays!!
