Crafts : Home Accessories : Altered Clipboard Frame : Home & Garden Television

Project from Missy Jaycox from St. Louis, Mo.

Missy Jaycox learned to use paste and glue in kindergarten and hasn’t stopped since! After mastering the traditional scrapbooking techniques of collage and decoupage as a teenager, her sense of stick-to-itiveness has only grown. Now, this stay-at-home mom loves putting together all kinds of altered art, as she’ll demonstrate with her altered clipboard photo frame and later, with her peeled paint art.

6" x 9" office clipboard
scrapbook and art papers
gift-wrapping paper
old book
2" x 4" brown coin envelope
black elastic
old key
metal sewing hook
photo corners
metal initial
twill ribbon
mini brads
decoupage medium
rubber stamps
black and brown inkpads
cotton manicure applicator
embossing ink and black embossing powder
heat gun
label maker
photo
copper and aqua acrylic paint
crackle medium

Figure A

Steps:

1. Lightly sand the clipboard using 220-grit sandpaper. Paint the metal clip of the clipboard with copper. Let dry and lightly dry brush with aqua paint (figure A). Let dry.

Figure B

2. Choose scrapbook papers, book pages, tissue and other items to cover the clipboard. Tear pages into strips and squares and ink the edges using a brown inkpad and a manicure applicator to apply the ink (figure B).

Figure C

3. Glue and layer the papers using decoupage medium until the desired effect is achieved. The papers can extend over the edges of the clipboard and be trimmed even with the board later. Cut words from old book pages or scrapbook papers that apply or that fit the subject (figure C).
