I finally got the chore charts done! They are REALLY easy to make - you only need a few things: paper, Mod Podge, clip boards, hooks, eyelets (optional), and cards or cardstock for the chore cards.
Basically you Mod Podge the patterned paper to the clipboard and let it dry. Then you measure out where you want your hooks and make a small indentation with a nail (not all the way through). Screw in your hooks. Punch a hole in the chore card and put in an eyelet if you want added security. Glue on a picture of the chore and attach some cute stickers on the back for when you flip it over. That's it!
I decided to show you the finished project instead of taking pictures of each step since it's pretty basic. I attached a small scrap of ribbon to each for some extra prettiness. Super easy!
Big E's Chore Chart:

| I was out of laminating sheets so I used an eyelet to make the hole more secure. |

Little E's Chore Chart:

ReplyDeleteHi Amy! I bookmarked this post a while ago and I'm finally ready to sit down and make a couple of these for my kids. A couple questions: what kind of hooks did you use? Where can I purchase them? And how did you adhere them? Another fantastic idea of yours! I can't wait to make mine!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie! I got the hooks from Home Depot. I had to open them with pliers (they were the O shape and I just pried them open). They screw into the clipboard. Have fun!
