DIY Project - Notice Board

While decorating for my new beading/craft room, I thought of not having a conventional looking notice board to be hung on the wall. Thus, I decided to do a quick DIY project to dress it up abit.

Materials and Tools:
1. Framed Cord Board (Size up to individual) or Canvass Board
2. Piece of Fabric (Size larger than board by at least 2 inches) - The retro designed fabric that I have used came from
Jo-Ann which is actually meant for home decor. I feel that a hardier fabric works better for this project.
3. Brown Tape (used normally for picture framing)
4. Scissors, Ruler, Big Stapler

Duration of Project: 10 minutes

Method:
Spread the fabric over the cord board and staple one side firmly onto the wooden frame at intervals. Pull the fabric tight at the opposite end and repeat the process. For the remaining two sides, make neat folds at the corners before stapling them onto the board. Trim the excess fabric and cover it up with the brown tape.



Voila! You have made yourself a one-of-a-kind notice board!
