Fun In The Making
Looking for lots of crafts made from recycled materials? You’ve come to the right place. I go beyond soup can pencil holders here. It is all about greening up your crafting and moving toward a more sustainable way of living. This site is full of eco-friendly crafts for children and adults. Making use (re-use really) of otherwise unwanted materials is good for the pocketbook and good for the environment.

Make Your Own Clipboards Out Of Scrap Boards To Display Children’s Artwork
Posted Jul 23, 08 -Filed Under children's activities (recycled materials), home décor (recycle and upcycle)
To make your own clipboard, you will need to find a thin scrap board. If it isn’t the right size, you will have to cut it to fit standard office paper. If you don’t want to bother cutting your board, ask around until you find something approximately the right size. Paint it with spare paint from your shed or leave it natural. When it dries completely, attach a clip like the one in the photo. The clips can be found at office supply stores.
These clipboards make excellent frames for displaying artwork. The clips already have a hook which makes hanging up easy.
