We've been decorating our 3 year olds room. It's pink, brown, and white. I of course couldn't live without a cute board to hold things on! I found an old ugly frame in our storage room that was holding a mirror (measured 16 x 24). I had some of those thin canvas boards on hand (also 16 x 24), and some thin batting from making rag quilts. I also had white spray paint. I bought some material at Wal-Mart. I also bought plain white flat thumbtacks. I wanted some extra sparkle....the cute little self-adhesive pink jewels from the scrapbook isle did the trick, I just stuck them to the thumbtacks.....
Here is the thin batting that I used...
I used spray adhesive to glue the batting to the canvas board, and to glue the material to the batting. Then I laid out my ribbon, I made sure to measure the spaces between and mark where I wanted them. Next I attached the ribbon by leaving them a couple inches longer on each side so that I could glue them down on the backside (I used super glue for that). Once I had the thumbtacks in I turned the board over and hammered the back of the tacks to bend and lay them flat. I sprayed my frame white (ended up having to do a layer of primer because the ugly paint kept bleeding through). Put my board in the white frame and hung it on the wall....
My plan was to hold pictures or bows, but right now it's holding one picture, a 2 dollar bill, birthday cards, and Valentine's cards. She LOVES it!....
