I crafted this reversible note board, after my last trip to Joanne fabrics. I was looking for canning jars (coupon in hand), but they didn't have any. So instead, I bought some burlap and some holiday swirled fabric-without knowing what I was going to do with it:)
|
Design/materials:
Two pieces of foam core board (from the dollar store) measuring 12" x 16" inches to fit inside the vintage frame I white washed. Cover one board with burlap and the other with fabric using hot glue under folded back seams. You could use a spray adhesive, but I didn't as I'm allergic to latex. Then hot glue the boards together back to back. Without glass, place them into frame and used 4 mirror clips to hold in place. Attached a wire hanger. I recommend pre drilling the holes for the screws. 
I hot glued vintage buttons onto flat thumb tacks, for the push pins.
Just undo hanging wire & mirror clips and flip to use the reverse side!
This project was so easy. The foam core board from the Dollar Store was perfect. And, the mirror clips work great in fitting the chunky matt!
Can't wait to make a few more. I just have half a dozen frames to paint out. Better get busy, eh:)
Come join the party!
This is absolutely adorable! I HAVE to make one! Love this and your entire blog!
