A quick creation for a little girl's birthday party that K is going to in a couple of weeks. This cute little clipboard will be filled with some sweet scrapbook paper, embellishements, maybe a pair of scalloped scissors and such.
To create this clipboard, you will need the following:
- Plastic clipboard that opens (I got mine at Hobby Lobby, but I have seen them at Walmart.)
Paint pens
Misc. matching ribbon
Simply write the child's name and draw a cute design. I was thinking a red clipboard with a transportation or sports theme would be cute for a boy.
Cut ribbon in about 4 inch increments and tie around clip.
Simple and the finished product makes a great gift for an aspiring little artist!

What a neat idea, I'd like to make one for myself. Love your blog.
Hello, fellow PEAR blogger! :)
I love this craft. When I was young, my friend's mom gave me nearly this exact clipboard to me for my birthday, and I remember it being one of my favorite gifts ever.
Thanks for linking up this craft project -- do you have any suggestions on how to write the child's name and make it cute like yours? I don't have the cutest hand writing and would be afraid that it wouldn't look as cute. I would love to make one of for each of my kids for car rides!! I think they would love them!
I have question - you can use any Paint pens? or there is a special colors to paint on plastic? How long the paint stays on plastic?
