disappointingJun 18, 2008
By Julie Reynolds
it would have been nice to describe that the product is simply a piece of paper stapled to a board. looks a lot more professional in the picture.

 Why buy paper on cardboard?Mar 14, 2011
By J. Fontecchio
"Cranky Bird"
I thought this was a hard foam you could pin your work on, NOT flimsy cardboard with a piece of paper on top!
Who wants to glue the paper onto the cardboard and coat it, as another person suggests?
Why doesn't it come this way?
I use the suggestion in Micro-Macrame: 30 Beaded Designs for Jewelry Using Crystals and Cords by Annika deGroot.
**************************************************************
A Padded Clipboard. (There are pictures of this in her book.
**************************************************************
Materials:
16 x 14 1/2 inch low loft batting
22 x 23 inch white or unbleached cotton muslin
Letter sized clipboard = 8 1/2 inches wide X 11 inches long
Several long straight pins or safety pins
**************************************************************
Directions:
1) Lay batting over muslin.
2) Fold 3 inches of muslin over one end of the batting and smooth.
3) Flip over and clip under the clip on the clipboard.
4) Flip the clipboard over and fold the fabric and batting, up, over bottom edge.
5) Fold one side of the muslin and batting, over right side of the clipboard.
6) Pin at bottom. * Be sure to secure the sharp tip into batting.*
7) Fold the other side of the muslin and batting, over left side of the clipboard.
8) Pulling tight, pin securely to the folded muslin on the right side.
9) ** Be sure to secure ALL sharp tips in the batting or use safety pins.**
**************************************************************
* I found pins were much easier to use.
* If you don't wiggle as you knot, you don't need safety pins.
* I also like to use the clip, as Annika deGroot suggests, to hold the cord ends.
* It's so comfortable, it won't self destruct, and it can be washed or replaced.
* Use different colors of fabric, for good contrast with cords, you are using.
* You can also add more padding, if you like.
* If you add beads, wire, etc. to the cord, the padding is extra helpful.
The beads will sink into the padding, leaving the cords flat to the fabric.
**************************************************************
Anyway, Annika deGroot's book, Micro-Macrame: 30 Beaded Designs for Jewelry Using Crystals and Cords, is very user friendly, very well written, with lots of clear, step by step, color pictures and lots of tips and advice, along with names and sources for items used.
***** I highly recommend it for beginners. *****
* F.Y.I. - I wanted a more advanced book, but I kept it because it was too good a reference to return.

 Great Product for the priceSep 20, 2010
By Dee
I found this locally after searching Amazon first so I didn't have to wait for it. I paid a total of $4.95. After reading the previous review I understand the issue with the paper on top. So prior to using it I removed the staples and the paper. I applied Mod Podge to the backer board and position the paper on top. Then I used a paint brush roller to smooth out air bubbles. After it was dried I applied a sealer coat to protect the paper. Works great and no paper tearing issues. I recommend everyone try this if they want to preserve the paper on top.
