Currently I'm using the matte just because that's what they had on hand last time I was at the store, you can tell in the pictures that it doesn't reflect the light as much. Also, when you put the paper on the board it may look like it's bubbling a bit - smooth it as much as you can and then let it dry. Most of the bubbles will disappear once it dries - took me ages to learn this and several times I would rip the paper off and restart not realizing that if I just waited the problem would resolve itself! Good luck, I'd love to see a picture when you're done!<br /><br />Jennifer @ <a href="http://herdingkats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Herding Kats In Kindergarten</a>Jennifer K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15114666136412667718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-16782597873610463362012-07-01T18:10:30.838-07:002012-07-01T18:10:30.838-07:00Thanks so much for the info and quick reply.

I have done some crafting but never used this. I am REALLY excited to start and plan to create a wedding clipboard first for my daughter. Again, thanks so much!!!Suzanne Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304851511557625379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-26559439839800143472012-07-01T01:30:12.737-07:002012-07-01T01:30:12.737-07:00Hi Jennifer,

I use metallic silver spray paint - sometimes I do gold or bronze too, as long as it's the shiny metallic kind - I just look at the lid :) I usually use about 1/2 a roll of each color ribbon for one clipboard and it's 3/8" usually. Hope that helps and thanks for visiting my blog!<br /><br />Jennifer @ <a href="http://herdingkats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Herding Kats In Kindergarten</a>Jenniferhttp://herdingkats.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-62912097548958700172012-06-30T18:29:14.911-07:002012-06-30T18:29:14.911-07:00I REALLY love thee clipboards and am going to try ...I REALLY love thee clipboards and am going to try to make some next week. Just a few questions: do you use any type of silver spray paint (or metallic) and what width ribbon do you get (and how much)? Can't wait to get these going and see what I can create.

Last time I was at Dollar Tree they didn't have a single one.<br /><br />Today I went and picked up one of those tollboxes from Lowes to decorate. I've also been trying to get everything back in order now that the painting is finished.<br /><br />Kelly @ <a href="http://fundamentalsinfirstgrade.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">I'm Not Your Grandpa, I'm Your Teacher</a>Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877388703388130759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-35520750372930112882012-06-30T13:37:54.850-07:002012-06-30T13:37:54.850-07:00It is 105 degrees here today so I've been orga...It is 105 degrees here today so I've been organizing my teaching stuff and working on a new product. I also worked on decorating 2 clipboards as well (I used scrapbook paper for the others that I've done, with the ones that I'm currently working on I'm painting them). <br /><br />Jenna<br /><br /><a href="http://swimmingintolearning.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Swimming Into Learning</a>Jenna McKeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544849740937784434noreply@blogger.com
