I have a board I have used in my sewing room and it is looking very sad,I thought if I covered it with with some pretty fabric and ribbons it would look alot better. Also need a practice project to do before I use my good fabric to cover the ones for Seth and Zoe(don't want to mess up). Thanks Nonie

You can start by adding a thin layer of batting over the board to give it a "puffy" look. Wrap the fabric around the board and staple or glue to the back side. Take decorative banding or ribbon (about 1/2" - 5/8" wide) and criss cross it through out the board. Where the ribbon overlaps, add an upholstery tack or even a pretty button. Just slip your notes and memos in between the crosses. Hope this isn't too confusing for you!! Looking forward to a picture!! Martha

Maybe if someone makes one of these, they can take pictures as they go along and we can put it up in the projects/how-to area. I had a friend in high school who used to make these for gifts. She used heavy cardboard, batting, fabric, and trims. She also used glue rather than staples since it was cardboard and not wood. It's a fun craft for adults and kids!
