It's been ages since I last posted!! Abby's last day of school was today, so it's offical SUMMER HAS BEGUN!
This week I made Abby's teacher a clipboard. Last year I made a 12 x 12 clipboard but decided to use an 8 1/2 x 11 one.
It's real easy to make.....I use mod podge for the glue....first thing is to glue the paper you want to use onto the board...this may be tricky...do a little at a time because the glue does dry fast. Try to get all the air bubbles out...once the back of the paper has dried apply a coat of mod podge on the top of the paper....let it dry before applying another coat. This year I tried to stamp an image onto the first mod podge layer(as suggested on another website)...I let it dry over night but once I tried to put on the 2nd layer of mod podge it smeared like crazy...luckily I was able to rub it off...I used a sharpie to outline and fill the image of where the stamped one was...I did the back and front of the clipboard....I let Abby write with sharpies on the back but before I used any mod podge....
