Clipboard Art & Display || DIY 2013

I consider myself a fairly organized person. I don't like being late to things (but sometimes I am) and I do my best to keep a planner (but most of the time I don't.) So in an attempt to be even more organized I made this Clipboard display and little organizing system. I love looking at these pretty things on my wall. I like to put sweet memories, pretty pictures and current projects up so I can be reminded of all the good stuff. These babies are functional for anyone and anything. This clipboard display is ideal for posting recipes, good memories, sweet cards, favorite pictures...anything. 

What you need:

Clipboards

Spray Paint

Chalkboard Paint

Paint Brushes

Foil (to cover clips while painting)

Lace (or any other "stencil" for a pattern)

Cute, easy, affordable. Love them. Make some and tweet me a picture or Instagram them using the hashtag #13diysfor2013. Happy DIY-ing!

Love,

Alison

Wipe-Off To Do List || DIY 2013

I am a list maker. I love writing lists. Lists for the week, the day, the grocery store, a project. Give me something and I'll make a list about it. I'm a little organization crazy. So when I found out I could make a cute Wipe-Off To Do List, I was all in! This is the first of 13 (or maybe more...) DIY projects I'm going to do in 2013. You can check out the full list here and make them all with me!

So let's get started!

 Total cost: $29.17

You can buy your supplies here :

Spray Paint, Markers, Hanging Strips, Frame, Scrapbook Paper (found at craft store)

I love this project because you can do virtually anything with it. Use it for a menu board, love notes or just a to-do list! Put a magnet on the back of it and put it on your fridge or just hang it on your wall! I'd love to see yours. Make one and send it to me, comment below, or Instagram it with the hashtag #13diysfor2013. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Love,

Alison

13 DIYs for 2013

I don't really do new years resolutions. Just like everyone else, I end up disappointed that I don't accomplish them. The only sort of resolution I make is "doing more projects." After finishing Project 52, I feel like I need to get my hands on something new. I'm notorious for pinning a million DIY's on Pinterest and barely accomplishing any of them. So 2013 is a DIY kinda year. I decided to pick out 13 projects that I could accomplish this year. My resolution for 2013 is "make more things."

1. Jewelry Display Branch

2. Wipe-off To-do List

3. Sharpie Mug

4. Paint Sample Calendar

5. Scrabble Tile Coasters

6. 2013 Memory Jar

7.  Instagram wall/canvases

8. Modern wall art with paint swatches

9. Candles

10. Framed Jewelry Display

11. Best Friend Wall Art

12. Cork Board

13. Planning Marker Board

Pretty stinkin' excited to get moving on these projects! They will simplify my life and get things organized. Always good :) Do you have any new years resolutions? Are there any DIYs that you've been putting off? Share them with me!
