Step 2
Cut out the parts of the template, and tape each one onto the back of a piece of faux leather.
Step 3
Cut out the faux-leather pieces and adhere them to the clipboard with spray mount, following the template’s design. Let dry.
For an ultra-finished look, spray-paint the back of the clipboard before covering the front with faux leather.
