Quick & Easy DIY Clipboard

Create Your Own
Quick & Easy DIY Clip-Board

My daughters decided to steal my clipboard and every time I try and get it back, I can't find it ANYWHERE! So tonight I decided to make my own. I'm going to have to find something thicker for the back but for now my home-made clipboard is awesome!

I broke a clip off an old store hanger. I found a piece of cardboard from something my fiance bought a few days ago so I cut a big square out of it. Then added some paper!

EASY PEASY!!!

I'm sure it would look better if I painted the clip and trimmed it up a bit but the plastic is to thick for my scissors to cut so I'll have to find some craft clippers to cut it again later. At the moment, I'm very happy with my little creation!

If you need a quick clipboard and don't have time to run to the store, make your own!

If you put alittle time into it and maybe used a piece if smooth wood or hard plastic, This would make a great little gift. You could pair it with some pencils and stationary and give it to a kids and teens for Birthdays or a Back To School gift. Or maybe a friend who enjoys to write and/or draw.

Now that I'm thinking about it....
The options are ENDLESS!

I may have to play with this project a bit and see what I can do to spice things up a bit!

Sign Language I Love You Heart Valentine!

Say I Love You with this Sign Language Heart Valentine!!

All you need is:

Construction paper

Glue

A Pencil (and crayons to decorate)

Glue

Tape (optional)

Scissors

Cut a big heart out of any color you like. (We used Red and Pink)

Trace your child' hand on another piece of paper, Make sure it is a different color that your heart.

Once you trace and cut out the hand, Fold down the middle 2 fingers, beside the pinky.

We taped the fingers down with a folded piece of tape so we could get some texture but you don't have to. You can glue the fingers down if you like.

Once the fingers are glued down, it's time to glue the hand to the middle of the heart.

Decorate and your DONE!

 A Fun little craft for any age!

My girls drew themselves some fingernails on their hand :-)

Valentine's Day Heart Dog Craft for Kids!

This post may contain affiliate links

Do you ever find yourself with a few extra minutes in the day and want to find something cute, fast and easy to do with the kids? Well since Valentine's Day is creeping near, I found this Heart Doggie Art that is just simply adorable! This would also make a good project for teachers of young kids to do in class!

All you need is 3 pieces of construction paper, glue and scissors!

Pick a main color and cut out 2 matching big Hearts. (We used Red)

Choose which color you would like to use for your background (We used White)

Cut 4 matching smaller hearts out of the remaining colored paper (We used Black)

Cut one more heart slightly smaller than the 4 you just cut, out of the same color paper.

Also cut out a tail shape out of the same color paper you used for the small hearts.

You can use circle pieces of paper for eyes or googly eyes

Glue everything together like the photo ------>

Glue the bottom big heart down first and add the 2nd big heart on top of it. The bottom points up. 2 smaller hearts go on the bottom as paws and 2 more go on the top for ears. The last little heart goes in the middle for the nose. All you gotta do to finish off this cute little heart dog is add the eyes and tail! 

QUICK, EASY AND FUN!!!

ENJOY!!!
