Clipboard Copy Cat
February 11, 2014
If you follow my blog, you know that I have been clipboard crazy lately.
I made a Clipboard Gallery Wall.
I made miniature clipboards for the Christmas tree.
I have been using clipboards in my vignettes. Here's part of my Valentine's Day Mantel.
I also used clipboards in a Christmas vignette.
And I made an old breadboard into a clipboard.
Today I am copying a clipboard idea from Mamie Jane's blog. Here Jane added a couple of strap hinges to make her clipboard into a photo easel. The clipboard stands by itself, and looks cool too.
I thought that this vintage Everflex industrial clipboard I found recently would combine well with the strap hinges.
So I drilled holes for some short but thick bolts and added the nuts on back.
Then I added a black and white photo of some of my ancestors on the farm, and stood the clipboard on the corner counter in my kitchen.
I love it!
I love it!

This looks so great, Carlene...love the addition of the hinges! I have some folding metal medical clipboards that I like to use with clips for clipboard displays!
ReplyDeleteThe displays look amazing and what a clever use of the hinges too.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a fun project! I love the idea of the hinges! I think the photo of your ancestors is absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a clip board "problem" myself. I can't resist them when I see them at the thrift store. Love your "industrial" one :)
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the clip boards!! I just might have to steal my hubby's old clip board.
