i thought it was so genious, i decided to do one for myself!
isn't it bright, beachy, practical and adorable??!!
i started with an ikea cork board - $6.99
spray painted the frame white
took some fabric leftover from another project and draped it over the frame, took a pencil, ruler and traced an outline on the wrong side of the fabric
trimmed it, leaving about an inch, to iron under, creating a crisp line
bought some decorative tacks from the fabric store
secured the corners first, then the middle of each side, and so on and so on, pulling the fabric tight
super uneven! oh well!
i originally had a dry erase board hanging here, but decided to move that around the corner and have this here instead
then.....liked it soooo much, created another one for my desk area and my endless "to do" lists!
love it! go make one!
They're both gorgeous!! Maybe I should do this instead of a chalkboard!! (my hubby has this hesitation with chalk for some reason!!)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Ikea has some decent fabrics out lately. Love your choices :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE FABRIC AS WELL.. i'm your newest follower!!!

Love the second one ! Check out my blog : http://nothinlasts.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteso pretty! I love the fabric choices :) And your blog is so great!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect timing! I took a memory board apart, only to realize that my chosen fabric scrap wasn't large enough to wrap around the back... but it IS large enough to do this! And I have spray paint and upholstery tacks. Perfect! This is SO getting done this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the graphic patterns!
ReplyDeleteLove it... hitting the store in the moring to pickup supplies! Thanks for sharing this cool little project. AJ - queenofmynest(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteNice job Natalie! They're both great - I especially love the fabric on the first one.

Warning: TMI ahead. Since my 4 furry creatures tend to cough up their dinner and/or hairballs on fabrics that are on horizontal surfaces (chairs, sofas, benches), I have to find ways to get colorful fabrics on vertical surfaces instead. I've been holding on to a corkboard for years that I've not been using, so this might just be the project it's been waiting for!
ReplyDeleteThis is the nicest corkboard I've seen ! I' ve so enjoyed browsing you're blog ,I'm now following :) Looking forward to reading more xx Ava
ReplyDeleteLove them both! Your fabric choices are gorgeous and they look fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday this week!

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best type of fabric to use for this project, something that wont stretch over time or get snagged too badly?
ReplyDeleteI finally have a personal office for the first time in my life, and this is a great way to personalize it! Thank you for the inspiration!
a denim or heavy cotton would work great!
ReplyDeleteI am making one of these for each of my girls! Great idea, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric choices! I included a photo (and link) of the yellow one in a post I just wrote. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteReally appreciate this wonderful post that you have provided for us.Great site and a great topic as well i really get amazed to read this.
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! So quick and easy but has such an impact! Just a question: I noticed some people using a spray adhesive to adhere the fabric onto the board, so have you found that using just push pins works as well? Thanks for the DIY tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Great for my new desk corkboards!
