Remember when you were a kid and the cereal box was your morning entertainment during breakfast? You could not wait to turn the box around to see what type of games might be on the back. So many different word searches, mazes, and, if you really want to date yourself, some boxes had a real record on the back. All of those fun entertaining boxes were made from chipboard. What is chipboard? Chipboard is a mixture of recycled pressed paper. It is available in a natural tan/brown-gray color or in white. The same chipboard used in those cereal boxes years ago is used today in business, industry, manufacturing, crafts such as scrapbooking, and so much more.
Chipboard can be of great use to you around the house. Chipboard is thick so it lays flat and can be walked on. You can use it to cover the floor when you are painting a room in your home. The straight edges fit tightly up against the baseboard. The flat surface allows you to overlap them slightly to cover the entire floor. Paint droplets can be easily wiped up off the chipboard. Use your electronic die cutter to make stencils for designing your walls. It is perfect for stencils. The best thing about chipboard is that it is a thicker board and is reusable. After you are done painting, lay each board on top of each other laying them flat as you store them. You can slide them under your workbench and forget about them until the next time you want to paint.

Do you like to do your own car maintenance? Chipboard can be of great assistance to you in this area too. If you plan to change the oil in your car, purchase some chipboard for the garage too. Slide the chipboard under the engine of the car before you change the oil. If you think you may be leaking any fluid from your car, chipboard can help here too. Place a clean piece of chipboard under your car. Pull it out and check it periodically for lost fluid. The color of chipboard is light so you will be able to see if it is a tinge of red from your transmission, or bright yellow-green from radiator fluid. Oil will easily be spotted as well.
Back inside the house there are many other uses for chipboard. You can use chipboard in your electronic die cutter for all of your scrapbooking needs. Cut the board into a frame and mount it on the front of a scrapbook or photo album. Add some glue to the frame, place stuffing on the glue, add a little more glue, then cover with a craft fabric and pull it tight to cover then glue it on the back. Cut out the center of the frame and pull the fabric through the center and tightly glue to the back of the frame. Glue in place. Glue the frame onto the top of your scrapbook or photo album. Place glue only on the back of the frame on the two sides and bottom, leaving the top open to slide in your photo.
Chipboard can be decorated too. You can use paint, crayons, markers, chalk or use decoupage medium to mount a photo, tissue paper or scrapbooking paper onto the chipboard. It can make perfect art for your walls too. Cut out your child's name, decorate it, and hang it on their bedroom wall. Choose to cut a design, then decorate and mount it in a frame and hang it on your wall. The possibilities are endless. Get your imagination on!
