Altered Mini-Clipboards

Some of you may remember that last year I made altered clipboards for my family. Well, the adults in my family. And when Natashia was visiting this summer, we made one for her.

The twins informed me that they liked clipboards, too! They also like to play games like Yahtzee that require them to keep score. So, I got the idea to create altered mini-clipboards that they could use when they are playing games. Of course, I couldn't leave Natashia out since she technically didn't have an altered MINI-clipboard!

I covered the front of each clipboard with their favorite colors and added a Yahtzee scorecard on top. I adhered a colored domino to the clip and then filled the ring with ribbons.

 For the backs of the clipboards, I used some dice patterned paper, Scrabble tile letter stickers, a piece of Monopoly money, a Clue card and some game stickers.

 These were so fun to make, I decided to also make one for a teenage friend of mine. Blue is her favorite color.

 I used different patterned papers & miscellaneous letters on the back of hers.

 

And for an added touch, I altered a mini-paper pads by covering the top edge with a matching piece of patterned paper.

I love the way these turned out. My only regret is that I didn't make one for me as well - it would be perfect for keeping score when Robbie and I play Canasta or Scrabble or Dominoes! I just might have to add this to my list of things-to-make next year.

Have you altered anything lately?
