Clip each cut cardstock square to a clothespin. Arrange the clothespins on the lap board under the sticker phrase so that they fit. Six clothespins were used in this particular demonstration—five to represent the weekdays, and one to stand in for the weekend. When you're satisfied with the arrangement and spacing, permanently affix the clothespins to the board using E6000 glue.

Allow the glue to fully cure for 3-4 hours before handling. Meanwhile, use fine line markers to write out the week's obligations and projects on each piece of pinned paper according to the day it has to get done. Repeat weekly to keep your family organized all season long!
