DIY Rustic Clipboards & Print Display…..

Hi everyone! Today Jen from City Farmhouse is here to share an amazing project with you!

Hi everyone, I am so happy to be back here from my blog-City Farmhouse sharing another project with all of you!

I seem to have fallen under the spell of summer, my family & I are having an incredible time & I don’t want it to end.

I hope you are all having an unforgettable summer too:).

Spending more time with my family also makes me blissfully aware of how much I adore them,

so I am always looking for creative ways to display moments, memories and sayings that reflect that.

I have always fancied a grouping of clipboards for displaying such pretty things.

And so of course I had to make them myself using a little MDF.

1. Have 3- 10″ x 12″ pieces of MDF(plywood) cut. Sand edges and makes corners rounded.

2. Find vintage clips, I bought mine on ETSY.

3. Stain your unfinished wood. I used fine steel wool and vinegar, I let it soak for 3 days.

4. Mark & tape off a 2″ stripe through the middle.

5. Using Kendall Gray(Benjamin Moore) paint the sides.

6. Sand & wax.

7. Using a very strong glue to add your vintage clips.

8. Make your prints. I used linen paper from the craft store & made prints on Pic-Monkey.

9. Hang & Enjoy!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
