August 27, 2011~ The Twelve Days of Classroom Projects~ Project #11

Ok, so I know it has taken me way to long to finish this series! Yeash! 

My life has gotten so crazy lately! But I AM going to finish before the end of August!!

So here is project # 11

Altered Classroom Clipboard

Recipe:

Clipboard

Card stock of  your choice

Decoupage Medium

Ribbons

Ruby Tuesday's Scripture Verse

I cut the card stock to my desired shapes and then decoupaged them down onto the clipboard. Then I let it dry and lightly sanded it and then decoupaged a few more coats, then did a final sanding. For the Scripture Verse, I printed it out on my computer and then chalked all around it to get the color I wanted for the background. But I was afraid that it would bleed or the chalk would smear when I put the decoupage medium on, so I sprayed it with a light coat of clear sealer and then I decoupaged it down. This worked really well!

Then I just cut some ribbons and tied them to the top of the clipboard. 

I think it came out really cute!! I 'm giving it to our 2nd Grade assistant at work:) 

Hope you like!

Happy Crafting:))
