We all love a good inspiration board! So, inpsired by these great pinboards i saw over on Brynn Alexandra a few months back i decided to have a crack at making my own!
Via Brynn Alexandra..
And heres how i did mine ..........
You'll Need
A corkboard,
Enough fabric to lay over it with some overhang
Spray adhesive & upholstry tacks (i got mine from spotlight)
Upholstry tacks - about $5 a pack & i needed 3 or 4 packs.
First spray the pinboard with spray adhesive - best to do this outside as everything will get covered in a nice sticky film otherwise ;) yuk! I actually admit i didnt use the adhesive, but it would have laid smoother if i did! Then lay the fabric over & smooth out! Trim the sides off leaving about 2 inches to fold around the back.
Tack out the corners & then work your way in! Quite hard to get even but i just guessed & it came out ok!
Ta Da!
.....and here she is hanging up in our laundry!
Looks pretty cool if i do say so myself!...although now its toally covered & you cant see the fabric or the tacks....a bit ironic after going to so much effort ;)
Looks Great- the fabric choice is great too! I was thinking of doing something simmilar for our study XX Samantha
