I am always trying to come up with fun gifts for teachers.  I made several decorated clipboards for teacher appreciation day this year.

I started with these clipboards I purchased at Office Depot.

I used Tacky Glue to adhere scrapbook paper on the front & back.  After the glue dried, I brushed on Mod Podge with a foam brush to both sides.

I then added a band of ribbon, glued on with Tacky Glue and added rhinestones.

I then tied on strips of coordinating ribbons for the final touch.  I tied the ribbon on the front circle and to the rod in the center of the clamp.

I had so much fun choosing the paper and creating these adorable gifts!

On the more masculine ones, I skipped the ribbon and added other accessories.

Some even got additional embellishments, like charms, beads and initial stickers.

I hope you enjoy making these as much as I did!

Happy creating!

“Wonder what I will come up with next”…
