I purchased a clipboard from a craft store that was unfinished wood. I took off the hardware and painted it black. I then cut a piece of cute paper from Stampin Up and used some glossy Mod Podge to glue it on the clipboard. Once the back side of the Mod Podge was dry I put a coat on top with a swirl design. Once that was dry I screwed back on the hardware and added the flower with glue dots & ribbon with a pen tied to the end. Easy right? Trust me, it was. If I can do it so can you!
