DIY Clipboards

This post all about clipboards on Desire to Inspire made me really happy this morning. I love clipboards and now I have all kinds of fun ideas on how I can incorporate even more into our house and possibly in my workspace at the office. I have a cluster of six that hang over my desk in our little home office currently. I used scrapbook paper and decoupage glue to give them a little personality. This photo was taken when I first made them about a year and a half ago. They are now covered in all kinds of goodies I can’t part with – photographs, movie stubs, greeting cards, scraps of ribbon and paper that have inspired projects and so much more. Clipboards are really quite handy and they’re super inexpensive – I think this was about a $15 project, including the paper and glue.

DIY Bulletin Board – An Office Makeover Preview

Here is a little preview of my in-progress desk overhaul project. I’ve been buried at work, literally up to my neck in stacks of paper and magazines, and a little makeover/organization project was in order. An old cork bulletin board I had lying around the house, $4 worth of fabric, $4 worth of brass upholstery tacks and 20 minutes later, I had a pretty little bulletin board ready to be taken to the office and covered in the lovely letterpress that inspires me daily. Wondering what a girl can do with roughly $80 and an hour of labor? Stay tuned!
