6 Things To Do with Clipboards
Updated: Aug. 06, 2019
There’s not all that much paper floating around our homes and offices in this digital age, but that’s no reason to toss out your old clipboards! Here are six clever ways to use clipboards all around the house.
1. Use a Clipboard as a Makeshift Pants Hanger
Can’t find a hanger for a pair of pants? Use a clipboard instead. Just suspend the clipboard from a hook inside the closet or on the bedroom door. Hang the trousers overnight by clipping the cuffs to the board.
2. Use Clipboards to Keep Recipes at Eye Level
When you’re following a recipe clipped from a magazine or newspaper, it’s hard to read and keep clean when the clipping is lying on the counter. Solve the problem by attaching a clipboard to a wall cabinet at eye level. Just snap the recipe of the day onto the clipboard and you are ready to create your kitchen magic.
3. Use Clipboards to Hold Placemats
Hang a clipboard inside a kitchen cabinet or pantry door and use the clamp as a convenient, space-saving way to store your placemats.

4. Use a Clipboard to Aid Road-Trip Navigation
Before starting out on a long motor trip, fold the map to the area you will be travelling in. Attach it to a clipboard and keep it nearby to check your progress at rest stops.
5. Use Clipboards to Organize Your Sandpaper
Most of the time, sandpaper is still good after the first or second time you use it. The trick is to find that used sandpaper again. Hang a clipboard on a hook on your workshop pegboard. Just clip still-usable sandpaper to the board when you are done and the sandpaper will be handy the next time you need it.
6. Use Clipboards to Keep Sheet Music in Place
Flimsy pages of sheet music are susceptible to drafts and sometimes seem to spend more time on the floor than on the music stand. To eliminate this problem, attach the music sheets to a clipboard before placing it in the stand. The pages will remain upright and in place.
