PAPERCLIP BOARD - TUTORIAL

I'm hosting this week's 3D Tuesday Challenge over at Paper Craft Planet and today I'd like to share with you a tutorial on how to make a Paperclip Board! This was a fun project to make and you can customize its size and designs to your liking! If you'd like to give it a try, please post your photos HERE and use the tag 3d155 so I can add it to our album!

Here are the Instructions:

SUPPLIES
Cardboard or Chipboard
Designer Paper
Adhesive
3 or more Paperclips
3 or more Decorative Brads
Paper Piercer or Tack

OPTIONALS:
Embellishments
Clear Contact® Paper (for use with dry erase markers)
Corner Rounder Punch

Measure and cut cardboard, designer paper, and Contact® Paper (optional) to the size you'd like your board to be. For this project, my measurements are 8" x 11".

Apply adhesive to back of designer paper; adhere to cardboard/chipboard.
Distress edges with ink and sponge if desired.

If using Contact® Paper, peel the backing off and carefully adhere over designer paper. Trim if necessary.

Trim corners if desired. (I used Zutter Corner Rounder 1/2".)

Decide where you'd like to place the paperclips and brads on the board. Punch a hole large enough for the brad prongs to fit through.

I used a paper piecer, but a thick tack will also work.

Slide brad prongs through the small end of the paperclip and then through the hole on board; secure back. Repeat as many times as needed.

All that's left is to decorate and enjoy!
