With a new baby in tow, it’s getting harder and harder for me to commit important dates lists to memory (it used to be so easy!). That’s where this DIY chipboard clipboard comes into play! Here’s how I made it:

Gather your favorite sheet of patterned paper, a decorative clothespin, a sheet of chipboard, a solid tape runner, and a handful of magnets.

Determine how large you want your clipboard to be and trim your sheet of patterned paper down to the appropriate size.

Adhere the trimmed sheet of patterned paper to the chipboard.

Using a heavy duty paper trimmer or an xacto knife, trim off the excess chipboard. Now you have your clipboard backing.

Flip the clipboard backing over and adhere the magnets to the corners of the sheet.

Place the clothespin at the top of the clipboard and start adding memorabilia!

Now that I have a designated landing spot for all of my family’s important information, I’m feeling more organized than ever before! PHOTOS/DESIGN: ANN MARIE LOVES | DEAR LIZZY PRODUCTS
