Material list

With the napkin technique, many things made of materials such as wood, papier-mâché, terracotta and much more can be quickly and easily enhanced. Like these homemade clipboards. They were cut from plywood and then covered with a colourful napkin. We show you how easy it is.

DIY clipboard with napkin technique

1. Cover your workspace with a cutting mat. 2. cut the plywood with a cutter knife.

2. Cut the plywood with a cutter knife. In advance, you can sketch out the desired dimensions with a pencil. Our clipboards measure 11 x 29 cm and 16 x 32 cm.

3. You can smooth the edges with sandpaper.

4. Prime the plywood with white craft paint. The white paint will give the napkin a stronger colour later on. Allow the paint to dry completely.

5. Remove the two unprinted layers of the napkin.

6. Using a napkin brush, apply the napkin varnish to the plywood, place the napkin and apply another layer of varnish. Allow the varnish to dry completely.

7. Finally, glue the letter clips on with VBS craft glue.
In our example, the clipboard serves as a practical tying aid. One board holds a knotting instruction for a friendship bracelet, the other holds the strings for the bracelet. This way everything stays in the right place.
