I’ve wanted to make a chalkboard clipboard for awhile, pinterest has an abundance of uses for them. I especially like the idea of using chalkboard vinyl in case I ever get tired of it. A couple weeks ago I thought about using a chalkboard clipboard for my sons chores. My plan was to add the chalkboard vinyl and embellish it a little. I had some washi tape within site so I started adding it around the vinyl. I immediately liked the look so I added a second layer. I couldn’t tell if it was too plain and needed something else or if I should leave it the way it is. So as usual I asked my husband, who by the way I’m sure loves giving me crafting advice. ;)
He thought it looked nice until I told him it was a chore chart for our son. The first thing he said was that it was too girly and that I can’t put that up in his room (you know in case a friend comes over). I liked the washi tape so much I didn’t even realize it was too girly for my son. Instead of taking the washi tape off I decided to keep it for myself.
To make the chalkboard clipboard I used:
Chalkboard vinyl (found at Hobby Lobby)
$1 clipboard
washi tape (SMASH brand found at Walmart on clearance for $1 each).
I think it would have made the perfect locker accessory back in high school or even a cute teacher gift. Now that those days are long behind me I plan to incorporate it in my craft space somehow.
Love the chalkboard! Oh…I might need to make some more clipboards. Thanks for the shout out. :)
Very cool! Those would be perfect for in the car!
That came out pretty.
I love this clipboard! The washi tape is such a great addition- thanks for sharing!
I LOVE this! I have a bunch of washi tape that I just don’t know what to do with and this may be the ticket. i just snagged 5 clipboards at Goodwill and I have chalkboard paint in the garage! My daughter would love to help make this! Thanks for the great inspiration

What a wonderful idea! I never would have thought of turning a plain ‘ole clipboard into a chalkboard! And the washi tape adds the perfect touch! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!
I think it’s so cute I’m trying to think of a reason why I’d need one myself!
Super cute! I love that you got the washi tape on clearance!! I might need to make one for myself :)
I love this idea and how your pieced the washi tape around to make it even extra cute!
I love this! I have lots of clipboard lying around. I think it’s time for a makeover! I hope you’ll link this up today (or anytime this weekend) at One Creative Weekend on OneCreativeMommy.com.
This is so clever!
I love it as always… Have a great weekend!

Love this. Might need to make for myself.
Super duper cute! This is a fantastic project! I hope to see you at my Pinworthy Projects Party.
Would you believe I have never played with Washi Tape! I have approximately 30 of these clip boards that I use in my Tastefully Simple business parties, perhaps they all need to be pimped out Washi style!
Love it! Washi tape is perfect for this! I hope you will link up tomorrow to The CSI Project starting tomorrow. The challenge is Back to School Projects. You just might win. Each week is a new challenge with 3 tutorials, giveaway and a fun guest judge.
