DIY clipboard wall art

Hello everyone, over the bank holiday weekend I have been upcycling a few bits and bob as I am making a cute wall display above my desk.

Clip Board:
 I've seen quite a few of this floating around the interent as people are using them on the wall and clippping lots of cute quotes and pictures on them. perosnally I think this lots so cute and can really be personalised. Alothough these can be quite espensive and diy-ing them is so  much cheaper and can be exactly what you like.

what I used:

•  A MDF piece of wall art ( I had 2 so changed up one of them ) - 50p
• small tester pot of cream paint - roughly £2
• small pot of blue nail polish - £1.50
• Some tape 
• Spounge or paint brushes
• hot glue gun or strong glue

luckily I already had all of these items so it cost me virtually nothing. Also keep in mind that this method is for the piece  MDF I brought and will be different for you guys.

What I did:

• Firstly I peeled off the sticker on the front so that I was left with a white base.

 

• Then I painted the whole thing cream and let that completely dried and then painted a second coat.
• Once that was dry I picked a nail polish that was quite watery and poured some of that in a little at a time until I got this blue shade that I really like.

 

• Next I used some tape on the cream layer in a random arrangement to make this pattern, make sure you test a tiny bit of the tape on the paint first to make sure it isn't going to take it off.
• Once all the tape is on in an arrangement you like paint over the whole thing in the second colour you made.
• If you don't need a second coat like myself wait until the paint is half dry and peel off the tape carefully.
• once it is completely dry I used a thin layer of hair spray to set it all.

 

• hot glue a large bulldog clip to the top centre and add what ever art or quotes or picture you would like.
• hang it on the wall and admire your hard work.

Hope you enjoyed this job I'm so tempted to make so many more of these.
