I was getting tired of looking at our messy (because of me - no one else's fault) bulletin board in the kitchen. Just about everytime I looked at it I thought about doing something to make it pretty. I finally did a few weeks ago during the kids quiet time. I had some cute Michael Miller fabric leftover from an apron I'm working on. It was just a little bit left so this was the perfect project to use it on! I LOVE my new place to keep important numbers and notes.
The board is really old... maybe from middle school or high school? I already had all the fabric and ric rac! Eventually I plan to have curtains and dish towels in coordinating fabrics - probably not until we move again in several years. I still need to paint the wood - it will be red! Thanks to those of you that helped me to decide what color to use :)
To make this I cut the fabrics about a half inch to one inch larger then what fits the area inside of the frame. I took a paper clip after centering the fabric where I wanted it and pushed the access fabric under the frame edge. I did the same with the ric rac although I will hot glue it down eventually. I wanted to take the frame off and just wrap and glue the fabric to the back but I was not sure if I could get the frame back on. My way worked well enough and it is secure as long as you do not try to take the fabric out.
