Make a decorative tack board for pictures or notes.Materials
1- 4x 8 foot sound board (makes 6- 24x 32 boards)
Have it cut at the home center when you buy
1 yd. of 60" fabric for 2 boards (or 3 yds. for all 6)
Floral wire
Contact paper or poster board
Tools
Glue gun
Scissors
Wire cutters
T pin or small nail
Begin by making two holes, one inch a part for the wire hanger in the corners of the sound board with a T pin or small nail.
Thread the floral wire thru the two holes and twist them together and make a loop as a hanger and twist the end at the base of the loop.
Cut fabric in half, lengthwise (36x 30). Spread fabric on a table with right side down and lay a piece of sound board on it, centering it.
With the glue gun, make a bead of glue down one side. Fold fabric over edge and press down over glue.
For corners, trim fabric by cutting a triangle off the corner of the fabric, leaving 1/4- 1/2 allowance once folded over sound board. Continue gluing fabric around edges, while pulling the fabric snug around the sound board and corners.
To finish the back, cut contact paper or poster board 1/2 smaller than board on all edges and glue or stick to back. Cut slits for hangers to pass through.
Your project is now complete and can be hung for a message or picture board!
