clipboard DIYTaking notes, making lists and studying become a lot more inviting when you’ve got fun supplies! Here, neon pink hearts offer a much-needed update to a plain brown clipboard – and it’s so easy to do!

Materials:

  • Clipboard*
  • Contact paper
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Heart stamp (1 7/16 inches wide; found at craft stores)
  • Craft paint
  • Paint pouncer brush (the blue brush in the image above)

*A standard clipboard at any school-supply store is about 8 inches wide. The heart stamp is nearly 2 inches wide, which allows for four hearts per line, six lines total.  

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut out six strips of contact paper, making them long enough and wide enough to stamp four hearts (roughly 3 inches wide and 8 inches long).

2. With the ruler, mark off what would be the middle of the heart (1, 3, 5 and 7-inch mark) on one strip of contact paper.

3. Pile up your six strips, leaving the marked one on top. Punch out the hearts using your marks as a guide.

4. Stick each strip onto the clipboard.

5. Paint! You’ll need a couple of coats if the clipboard is dark or if you want your hearts to be darker.

6. Peel off the contact paper…

…VOILA! How cute is this?!
