Try It Tuesday~Doodle Board

Hi everyone, I'm back from vacation and had a fabulous time. I learned I can survive without internet for a week. I was able to get on a few times by visiting the local Starbucks and that was rough {not}!!! Before I left for vacation, I made one of my grands a doodle board for his birthday and that is what I will be sharing with you. So here we go~


I took an old frame, that I had on hand, and opened it up. I took out the inside cardboard and used Helmar V2 Vellum Adheive to adhere the pattern paper to the inside cardboard. Worked like a charm!! Adhered well with no bubbles. The paper I used was from Vintage Street Market. It was lined paper and had some "fun" on it too!!



After the inside was completed, I then decorated the frame with embellishments from the same paper line using Helmar 450 Quick Dry, to hold the embellishments in place. This glue is perfect for this type of project, drys quickly letting you continue to work.


I sealed everything with Helmar's Acrylic sealer. It is a great learning tool for practicing writing or doodling, which kids love to do. All they need is a dry eraser marker and an eraser.




I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to glue the kraft envelope {by Maya Road} to the back of the frame which will hold the marker and eraser~my attempt to keep all parts together!!! My grand really enjoyed this  and I know I will need to make four more.  Perfect for those road trips!! Thanks for stopping by and I will see ya soon.
