✿SLC Project: Message Board I have been wanting to create a message center for my crafty little girl for quite, some time now. She is always drawing, writing or creating some masterpiece! With the help of my creative Mom and an afternoon dedicated to this project, we made it happen! Preparation time: 30 minutes Project time: 2hours 30 minutes Supplies: For this fun project I found a 24”x36” frame (on sale!). I also had cork board from the dollar store (4, 12x12’ pieces in each package. Fabric, bought from a local store. (All was less than $18). We also used ribbon, 9 buttons, glue gun, fabric adhesive, a cutting wheel, rulers and a sewing machine. ✄First of all we cut the fabric into 6, 14”x14” squares (there should be about an extra inch of fabric all around to fold the material over the edges) I used a checkerboard pattern for this one so I had three yellow fabric pieces and three of the patterned fabric pieces. ✄I ironed all of the material to take out the wrinkles and lines.   ✄All cork boards were sprayed with the fabric adhesive. The material was glued on to each board.  ✄Wrap the extra material around the cork board and glue corners and edges with your glue gun.  ✄You can make embellishments such as pockets and/or ribbon and buttons. Personalize it to make it your own. ☺  I ❤ this cute project - it puts the FUN in FUNctional! PS. My daughter was over the moon in love with this! She can now display her photos, pictures, notes and other treasures nicely in her room!  |
