Altered Christmas Clipboard by Robyn Weatherspoon!

Here’s a super-fun project that will add loads of fun to your Christmas décor!
Here’s what you’ll need to complete this project:
Moxxie Santa Stops Here patterned papers
Moxxie Santa Stops Here cardstock stickers
Moxxie Chipboard Coordinates #1
Clipboard
Adhesive
Glue Dots
Mod Podge
Envelope template
Bone folder
Eyelet
Buttons
Ribbon/Ric rac
Scissors

Let’s Get Started!
Trace clipboard on patterned paper. Cut it out.
Since the clipboard is actually about an inch longer than the patterned paper, cut the patterned paper in half. Attach to clipboard leaving a space in the middle. Cut a strip of different patterned paper about 1 ½ inches wide. Layer in the middle of the clipboard so that it’s completely covered. Cut 2-narrow strips of patterned paper. Layer one on each side of the middle strip. Using an envelope template(I chose one that would make a tall, narrow envelope so I can put a pencil in it), trace and then cut it out on patterned paper. Using a bone folder, score the folding lines of the envelope. Put the envelope together with good adhesive to make sure it stays secure. Using the large Santa cardstock sticker, stick it on to patterned paper. Cut it out to make a large tag. Add an eyelet to the top of the tag.
Using a chipboard coordinates tag, cover one side with patterned paper. Add an eyelet to the center of the tag.
Add button, ribbon and tag to envelope. Add buttons and ric rac to the clipboard. Using Mod Podge, cover the entire clipboard and envelope. Allow to completely dry. Attach envelope to clipboard using glue dots to secure it. Attach the Santa tag to the top of the clipboard with ribbon. And that’s it! A lovely decorated clipboard that’s perfect for your Christmas wish list!!
