MAKE IT: DIY Clipboard to Give or Keep!

Step 1: Gather supplies. We used a clear letter sized clipboard, scissors, exacto knife, tape, and Jillson & Roberts Sparkleflake Red wrap (XJ683) cut ~1″ larger than the size of the clipboard all around.

Step 2: Fold wrap along the bottom edge of the clipboard and tape down to secure.

Step 3: Fold wrap over the front of the clipboard and under the metal clip. Crease paper along the edge of the clip. Unfold. Mark lines along the fold and cut with exacto. Cut 2 small notches along both outer edges, along with one full cut line perpendicular from the crease line to the wrap edge.

Step 4: Fold wrap over the front again, but now lift up the clip and tuck in the wrap under and around the edges of the attached clip (your cuts should allow it to easily lay flat around the clip). Trim wrap along the edges of the attached clip. Fold wrap along and around the top edge of the clipboard and secure with tape. Flip Clipboard over to its back, and smooth. Wrap along and over the sides of the Clipboard, securing with tape as you go – as if wrapping a gift.

Step 5: Admire! We use these around our office and change up the wrap based on mood or season! They are a great DIY gift to help someone stay stylishly organized in the new year.
