Workshop Display Board

05May09

To display my cards when I go to a workshop I decided I wanted to put them on a notice board.  But I didn’t want to have just an ugly old cork pin board so I prettied it up and this is what I ended up with.

I bought a $5 cork pin board from bunnings and then I have used a beautiful blue paisley print fabric for the background and just tucked it under the timber edging.  I then stretched whisper white grosgrain ribbon across it so that I can tuck my creations under the ribbon or clip them to it instead of pinning them and damaging them.  I tucked the ribbon under the edging too and secured it with staples where it tucks under.  I put a light wash of white paint around the frame to soften the timber to help it blend with the white ribbon and fabric.

I think it’s very beautiful and I hope it works well.  I just want to buy some cute clips or even little pegs to attach my cards with.  I’ll show you all what it looks like when it has the cards attached.
