Clip board of your choice
Gesso (found in the paint section)
2 colors of acrylic paint
Crackle Medium
Brush
Sanding block
Ranger Walnut Ink pad
Netting
Xyron X2 Roll-On Adhesive
Rick rack, ribbon and fibers

DIRECTIONS:
1. Select a clip board that has the right clip for your use. Prime the board with Gesso. Once dry, select your basecoat color of acrylic paint. Paint your board with that color.

2. Apply a coat of crackle and let dry until sticky, approximately 15 minutes (read manufacturer's instructions). Then apply the second complimentary color of acrylic paint to the top of the crackle.  Let dry completely.

3. Once dry, you can go through with a sanding block and remove any unwanted paint to create a distressed look. Using the Ranger Walnut Ink pad you can ink up the edges and sides to desired effect.  Make sure this dries before continuing the process.

4. Place netting on the board and adhere with Xyron X2 Roll-On Adhesive for a firm adhesion. Follow with rick rack, ribbon and or fibers, place as desired. Use a glue dot or Xyron X2 Roll-On Adhesive.

5. Have our Frame Shop cut a piece of acrylic that will fit from the clip to the end of your board. Put rub on letters on top of the acrylic piece. 

This clip board may be hung or used daily as a clip board of memories.
