Easy Clipboard Photo Display

I bought a Polaroid camera last summer and I just recently got back into using it, because it's a really convenient and cute way to process pictures quickly and easily without having to go to a store.  I really don't know why we ever got away from using instant film. :P I've mostly just been taking pictures of my dogs, so I figured I ought to figure out a way to display them in a cute, easy way.  So, here we go!

You'll need Mod Podge, wooden letter cutouts for the monogram, wooden hearts, scrapbook stickers, scrapbook paper or cardstock, hot glue gun, silver spray paint, and two plain wooden clipboards.  I found all of my supplies at my local craft store and it's quite small, so chances are, if we have it in my area, you'll likely have it in your area too. 

The first step is not actually pictured.  I took the wooden letters and hearts and took them outside so I could spray paint them silver.  You could also use acrylic paint if you'd like.

Next, you'll need to cut out your scrapbook paper so that it fits the surface of the clipboard.  My boyfriend chastised me for not unscrewing the clip at the top so I could make the paper cover the clipboard more neatly, so if you want to do that, you can.  I just laid the clipboard on top of the paper and cut around the edges with my scissors, then trimmed off any excess and rounded the corners.

Then, I brushed a layer of Mod Podge on the back and then glued them to the clipboards.  You can also add a top layer of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it and make it a little shinier, but make sure that the glue holding the paper to the clipboard is completely dry first, or it will bubble.

Plug in your hot glue gun and wait for it to heat up.  Take your spray painted letters and hearts and glue them onto your clipboards where you want them.  Press the letters and hearts down for a few seconds to make sure they set.

Finally, add your scrapbook stickers where you'd like them, and you're done!  You can also use regular, cropped photos if you don't have a polaroid camera. :) I set these up on my writing desk so I can always see my babies. (Yes, I'm a crazy dog lady).  

Let me know if you give this a try!  I'd love to see the results!
