Do you have old clipboards on hand that you’re not using? They’ve become a bit battered?

Why not try some clipboard altered art or wall hangings. They’re fun projects for children and adults. You can hang them on your walls for decoration and to display memorabilia.
First paint the clipboard and clip, generally with acrylic paint, but you can try other types to see what works. When it dries, stamp designs on it or leave plain. Then attach items with glue or gel medium.
You can have a theme for your designs or simply arrange a miscallaneous display with items on hand. The materials might include:
- Scrapbooking materials
- Old and new photos
- Fabric scraps
- Words
- Rubber stamps
- 3-D items such as buttons, shells, beads, charms
- Miscellaneous words from paper
- Scrabble pieces
Simply put your imagination to work and see what you can come up with.
