Are you struggling to find a solution for that awkward space on your wall? Don’t fret! Try using this DIY Clipboard Art method that is gorgeous in any room.

Try using this DIY Clipboard Art method that is gorgeous in any room.

Sometimes the easiest and simplest solution just so happens to be the best one. For instance, I had this awkward space above my tv-slash-computer monitor. I tried creating a “special” wall gallery above it, but it looked too busy. Then, I used a large map of the U.S., but it looked like it was competing too much with my tv. Not to mention, I even tried just leaving the space blank.

Unfortunately, I was struggling. I was putting in a lot of effort with absolutely no desirable results. That’s when I realized that I needed to think simpler, cleaner, as well as make it a littler more personalized. That’s when I remembered that I could create a beautiful display using clipboards and the billion and half magazines that I had lying around.

    Do you ever have a moment of clarity, and then wonder why it took you so long to get to that solution? Ugh. That definitely happens to me wayyyyy too often. Thus, my DIY Clipboard Art for my studio was born, and I haven’t looked back since!

    Ok, so. Let’s be honest. You really don’t need a tutorial. However, I figured the below format would be easier to look at then just another paragraph. Am I right?

    SUPPLIES

    • Clipboards
    • Nails
    • Hammer
    • Mementos (Magazines, Photos, Art Prints, and/or Inspiration)

    STEPS

    1. This is the easiest wall gallery ever! Grab yourself a clipboard or two.
    2. Then, find some photos, art prints, or other inspiration. 
    3. Last, clip your chosen material to your clipboard, and hang it up on the wall using your hammer and nail. 

    NOTES

    • Don’t forget that you can always paint your clipboards if they don’t match your particular color palette.
    • If you’re going to take the magazine route feel free to use the whole magazine or even just a page out of it.

    Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of t Day 21 - Is the start of the sea life section of this amazing challenge! If you haven't noticed... I've been using a lot of warm tones as much as I can. I tend to be a very cold-natured person so during the winter months, I do my very best to think all things summer to get me through! Plus, doesn't this seahorse just look so warm and toasty in its environment?

How do I even explain? They're just a wonderful combination of tropical yet southern, but exotic yet familiar. Happy, playful, soothing, and fragrant. 🥰
    Day 17 - Have you ever grown Sweet Pea Flowers? I Day 17 - Have you ever grown Sweet Pea Flowers? I have not, but after doing my research for this piece I'm tempted to try my hand at it this coming season. They are so pretty and come in such a lovely color palette!
    Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of th Day 15 - Bumblebees. I have countless videos of these gorgeous insects buzzing around my azaleas in vibrant shades of magenta every spring. With that being said, I just couldn't resist capturing a similar illustration to remind me of those delectable and much warmer days.
    Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of Day 13 - Today's challenge was a moth, and one of my favorites is the Luna Moth. Those lime greens always have me swooning! Now, if I only I could see one in person... that would definitely make my day! 💚
    Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like Day 11 - During the cold months of the year I like to think/dream about the beautiful creatures that decide to visit us once it gets warmer. We've had a lot of cold days this winter in NC (not super typical) so I figured the use of warm colors on these butterflies would be the most ideal fit! Hope you're staying warm and cozy ❤
