Do you need a new spot to organize your creative thoughts or project ideas?
Here is a quick and easy tutorial you can accomplish in a short time over the weekend – Create your own Fabric Pinboard to collect your notes, photos or to pin what inspire you. You can create a colorful one like the one below from Pottery Barn by using colorful fabric and paint. The one I create is purposely plain because I like a blank canvas when collecting my ideas.
This project cost me less than $20. to complete and I got the extra large pinboard I needed. The one from Pottery Barn cost $130.
Create A Fabric PinBoard Tutorial
Supplies:
- A large picture frame – I found mine at a thrift store for $6.
- One yard of solid fabric or burlap – I used a remnant of linen I had
- Cork – $12.99 for a roll
- Spray adhesive
Step 1. Remove the back from the frame and paint the frame if you desire.
2. After removing it, paint your frame and let it dry completely.
3. Add cork matting to the back board of the frame with spray adhesive. You can buy cork in squares or a roll from a craft or hobby store.
4. Let the cork adhere and flatten to the board. Trim the excess cork so it will fit neatly into the frame when you reattach it.
5. Cut your fabric to the board size with 1/2 inch hem. Iron your fabric first. Spray adhesive the cork and lay the fabric on top. Let it dry.
6. Reattach the board to the painted frame. Hang it and your done!
You can make your pin board pretty by using a colorful fun fabric as shown in this Pottery Barn one that cost $130.
I purposely chose a plain fabric and frame because I wanted a blank canvas for my ideas.
Enjoy Creating!!!
