How to Make a Fabric Pinboard

So convenient to have your own model :)
Aloha & Happy Sunday everyone!  Today's post is a 15 minute project - a Pinboard.  Sorry if I don't have step by step photos.  My phone got damaged, and I didn't recover any photos (all 2900 of them!)  Believe me, I still get upset with myself about not backing up my photos or syncing to iCloud.  This is the only photo I have of this project, which I got from my Instagram post.  The bright side is this project is easy enough without a lot of photos!

All you need is the following:

- foamboard (I just used a scrap foamboard)
- box cutter
- yard stick or ruler
- spray adhesive (you may also use liquid glue)
- fabric (I'm sure you know by now that I'm crazy over chevron print)  Best to iron it.
- scissors

Another thing I used, but not necessary, is a frame.  I have this big frame with a poster I wouldn't miss.  

1.    First, I measured the inside of the frame.
2.   I cut the foam board accordingly using the box cutter.  
3.   I added two inches to the foam board measurement for the fabric.  (foam board: 38x24, fabric: 40x26)
4.   Spray the foam board with adhesive.
5.   Put the fabric over, and flatten it.  I used the yard stick to get rid of the air bubbles.  Let it dry for 5
      minutes.
6.   Flip the foam board over.  Fold and glue the edges on the back of the foam board.
7.   That's it!  Pinboard is complete!
8.   I used double stick tape to attach the pinboard to the frame.

I love simple and quick, yet very functional projects like this.  My daughter enjoyed doing this with me too. 

Thanks for stopping by!  It's Monday again tomorrow.  Happy workweek!
