Picture this: instead of reaching for a boring clipboard, you grab one that looks like it just came out of a jewelry box.
Covered in glitter, sequins, and faux gems, these clipboards are not only practical but also make you smile each time you use them.
They’re proof that sparkle belongs everywhere, even in the everyday tasks.
Materials Needed
- 1-3 plain clipboards (standard size, 9” × 12.5”)
- Assorted rhinestones, gems, and sequins (approx. 30-40 pieces per clipboard)
- Loose confetti glitter (about 2 tbsp per clipboard)
- Strong craft glue or hot glue gun
- Small brush or toothpick for glue placement
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Wipe down the metal clip on your clipboard to make sure it’s clean and free of oils or dust.
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of craft glue to the area you’d like to decorate. For best results, focus on the top corners or edges of the clip.
Step 3: Sprinkle a little glitter confetti over the glued surface and gently press it down with your finger to set it in place.
Step 4: Add rhinestones and gems one at a time, arranging them in a mix of large and small sizes for a balanced look.
You can use a toothpick to adjust placement if needed.
Step 5: Let the clipboard dry completely (at least 2-3 hours). Once dry, give it a gentle shake to remove any loose glitter.
Step 6: Use your sparkling clipboard to hold notes, display prints, or even hang on the wall as part of your workspace décor.
Tip:
Choose gem colors that match your desk theme, think pastels for a soft vibe or bold jewel tones for a luxe look.
