handmade bulletin board

Hey all! Happy Monday!

I, personally, like my Mondays.

I hope all you moms had a fab Mother's Day.

Mine was super and I will share my gifts with you tomorrow.

Anyway, On to today's post!

I went to GW!!!

I know.

I got this large, chunky picture frame for $10.

And this bulletin board for $5

I tore the back off  and broke the picture loose.

I removed thelittle metal frame from the bulletin board

and cut it to fit in my new frame.

If you do this, you should use a razor blade to score

BOTH sides of your bulletin board.

I only scored the back of mine and when I went to snap

it apart this happened.

So I ended up with this.

I didn't mind too much because I knew I was covering it all with fabric.

My fabric was $6/ yard.

I used a staple gun to attach it around.

Then hot glue it all the way around the frame to make the

covered board stay put.

Before I did all that, I painted my frame.

First I painted it with some leftover Yellow paint,

then I covered that with white gloss so when I distressed it some of the yellow peeked through.

I love it.

It turned out just like the picture in my head.

I like when that happens.

Of course I put some of my favorite people and accessories on there!

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day!

I'll be back tomorrow.

It's laundry day here, and that includes ironing,

my least favorite chore. I am also finishing upTHIS project!

Yay!
