I used a normal clipboard that I had picked up on sale. Then I used a variety of papers, tore them into pieces and glued them on with Mod Podge. Then added a layer to the top of the paper. It gives the clipboard a less than smooth surface, but with a pad of paper it works well. It is mostly for a solid surface for the kids to color on. Plus they look great.
Hopefully they like them. I added their names to the bottom. Then I put flowers on Samantha's with gem brad centers, and a variety of ribbon tied onto the top of the clipboard. The papers on Samantha's are bigger pieces, while the pieces on Jared's are smaller. It worked fine either way. Samantha's was probably done quicker though with larger pieces.
On Jared's I added stars and put brads that have the head of a screw. It needed a little boyish charm other than the blue color. These were a really easy project and didn't really take very long. The longest part was waiting for part of it to dry before moving on.
