As I said in my last post, I got a little crafty last week. When I say little, I do mean little. Like my 8 year old could do this, except for the fact that it involves an exacto knife.
I wanted a little bulletin/note board for my kitchen "desk", a.k.a. junk collector. I have a basket there for the paper mess but sometimes I forget about a certain coupon or something I want to save. I found this nice big frame in a junk store for $5. Even though it was off-white with gold showing through, I knew it had great potential. Two coats of flat black spray paint and it was ready to go.
~foam board
~felt or batting
~exacto knife
~pretty fabric
~fabric/craft glue
5 Simple Steps:
1. Measure and cut foam board to fit frame, using exacto knife
2. Cut felt/batting to fit foam board
3. Glue felt to foam board
4. Stretch fabric around board, glue to back.
5. Attach fabric board to frame.
*I didn't have to tape it or nail it in... it just fit perfectly. The back is not pretty, but who's looking?
