Creating a clipboard gallery wall with clipboards from the dollar store.

I love a good gallery wall, and today I have a fun, budget-friendly idea to share with you! This gallery wall uses clipboards from the dollar store and free printables I found online (plus a few I made on my own).

Because this gallery wall is being hung in my daughter’s room, I went with affirmations that she could see and read each day. However, you can create a similar gallery wall using whatever type of printables you want… change them out with the seasons, or go with a theme that can remain throughout the year.

What You’ll Need to Make A Clipboard Gallery Wall

Inspiration Gallery Wall

  • Clipboards– I got mine at the Dollar Tree for $1 each (the ones linked are just about the same price)
  • Printables- You can certainly create your own printables, otherwise, there are hundreds of free printables you can use on Pinterest. (I have a Pinterest Board dedicated to printables and I’d be happy to have you follow along).
  • Hammer
  • Nails
  • Level
  • Masking Tape
  • Tape Measure


How to Make A Clipboard Gallery Wall

These directions could not be easier. Simply find some printables, or make your own. I used the majority of mine from Pinterest, but I did make a couple in PicMonkey.

Once you have all your printables, arrange them on the floor so you know how you want them laid out when they go on the wall.

In order to get them evenly hung on the wall, I arrange them how I want them on the floor, and use a piece of masking tape to run along the top hooks.

Once I make sure everything is level, and spaced appropriately, I poke a hole in the masking tape where the nail needs to go.

I remove the masking tape from the back and adhere it to the wall, again making sure it’s level. Then I pound in the nails where the holes have been poked and hang up the clipboards.

And here’s the gallery wall when it’s finished.

    I LOVE this! I made a larger version. Currently I have 24 clipboards hung but I’m adding another row of 6 today. A perfect project during lockdown.

    I scoured the web for sayings that spoke to me then had them designed on Fiverr.

    My husband made 2 pieces of wood 1″ wide and used them as spacers to ensure the clipboards were properly spaced horizontally and vertically. It made hanging super fast.

    For a neater look, we used museum putty to hold the clipboards in place against the wall and double-sided tape to keep the paper flat on the bottom of the clipboard.

    Thanks so much for the inspiration!

    Erin it is very heartwarming to read about your vocation and you are a wonderful person. I do not have an eating disorder but have twin nieces who did as teenagers and, although they are better and just turned 50, they are still thin as rails. God bless you, Nola

      It seems everyone I meet has struggled with an eating disorder or knows someone who has. Thank you for your kind words regarding this project. I loved working on it and seeing how it turned out. Enjoy your weekend Nola!
