Krafty Katie

One of the many school supplies on Katie's list for 3rd grade was a clipboard. But all they had at Walmart was the plain jane brown. So we decided to make it cute.



First she painted it.



Then she picked out some cute cardstock. I cut it to fit the clipboard, and then she glued it on.



Then she modge podged it. After it dried, I tied some ribbon on the clip, and...........



............voila! A cute clipboard! Third grade, here she comes!

That is so awesome! She will have it going on in third grade for sure. What a clever idea and so fun - I bet she'll start a trend and before you know it, all the girls in her class will decorate their clipboards! And I just love clipboards in general.
