Memo Board and Cork Board Tutorials

I worked on two of my projects today. Both were for my newly painted laundry room. These are easy and inexpensive to make and I love the way they look! For the memo board...

1. I bought a poster frame.
2. Remove the Plexiglas and cardboard back and lay a piece of batting, the same size on the top of both. Cover with fabric, which has been cut a couple of inches larger, wrap around the edges and attach on the back with a staple gun.
3. Lay back into frame.
4. Arrange ribbon pieces in a decorative pattern. I held mine in place with straight pins until I got them symmetrical. Tuck into frame and secure entire board into frame. Attach upholstery tracks where the ribbons cross, letting them puncture into the cardboard securely.
5. Finished!

for the cork board...

1. I used an identical poster frame. No need to take apart.
2. Fit top with thin cork tiles directly on Plexiglas. Trim pieces if necessary.
3. They should fit inside the frame snugly like puzzle pieces.
4. Secure with hot glue on all corners of the tiles.
5. Finished!

Completed laundry room reveal will be this Monday. Fun!
