DIY Clipboard Made From A Cabinet Door

*** This post contains Amazon affiliate links for your convenience to help you find the paint and supplies I used to make this project. It will not cost you any more, but I will make a small commission if you purchase through my links. Thank you for supporting The Painted Hinge blog! πŸ™‚ ***

Hey friends! πŸ™‚ We’ve been on the cooler side for this time of year in Nor Cal, but we’re supposed to hit the 80-90 degree range over the next few days. I loved all the rain we got over our winter season (and we really needed it!) but I’m ready for some warmer weather! To celebrate it finally warming up around here, I made this DIY clipboard made from a cabinet door to share with you! πŸ™‚

Here’s what you’ll need for the project:

  • A cabinet door (mine measures 13″ x 16″, but you can use whatever size you like)
  • Metal Clipboard Clips by Tim Holtz Idea-ology, 2 per Pack, 3-Inch, Antique Nickel Finish where to buy
  • 2 8mm wood screws in bronze
  • FolkArt Home Decor Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint in Sheepskin where to buy
  • FolkArt Home Decor Wax, Antiquing where to buy
  • FolkArt Home Decor Wax, Clear where to buy
  • FolkArt Home Decor Chalk and Wax Brushes where to buy
  • Krud Kutter Prepaint Cleaner where to buy
  • 150 grit sandpaper where to buy
  • Lint free cloths

Directions:

Cabinet Door Clipboard & Hello Spring Free Printable

I bought the cabinet door for $2 at the Habitat For Humanity ReStore. I love that place – it is a repurposer’s paradise! πŸ™‚

I cleaned the cabinet door with the Krud Cutter, then applied two coats of the chalk paint, letting it dry thoroughly after each coat. 

Once the second coat of chalk paint was dry, I lightly distressed the cabinet door with 150 grit sandpaper.

I then applied the Antiquing wax by brushing it on in small areas, then immediately wiping off the excess wax with a clean, damp cloth. After leaving it dry thoroughly, I did the same thing with the Clear wax, only I let each area sit for a few minutes and then wiped off the excess with a clean, dry cloth.

Once the wax was completely dry, I attached the clipboard clip using the wood screws.

Now for the free printable! It says “hello spring” and it is 8 1/2″ x 11″ in PDF format. I had to trim it a bit to fit nicely on my clipboard. I printed it out on cardstock paper so it would lay flat.

    What an inspired idea! I would have never thought of turning a cabinet door into a rustic clipboard but it turned out fantastically! Pinned!

    Seems like a perfect way to make a “frame” – just add a picture and hang. Intend to try this soon.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the feedback o Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the feedback on my question on my last post about how long it takes you to get a space (like a hutch) decorated just right. Before I posted, I seriously thought that I was super slow at decorating, but came to find out that it is the norm to work on and off on a space for at least a few days to get it just right. ⁣
⁣
I've always been a big proponent when it comes to not comparing yourself to others when it comes to decorating (or anything really) because it's a great way to get yourself down, and then I go and do it to myself! πŸ€ͺ All that should matter is that you enjoy the decorating process and the end result, not comparing yourself and racing against others. Decorating our homes should never be a competition πŸ’β£
⁣
I hope you have a wonderful week! πŸ’œβ£

Do you need to take your time when decorating to get things just right like me? Or can you whip out a perfect vignette in no time flat? If you're the latter, can you share your secrets with me please? πŸ˜„β£
