Simple Project With Great Potential

Yeah, these boards are commonly used for photos, but I liked the idea of putting a verse with a small drawing in/on them. It is that little touch of the unexpected which makes people stop and look, or read in this case.

Instead of personal photos, you also have the option to put a larger image on them; think calendar images for instance. Last year's calendar may have some beautiful pictures. Those don't have to end up in the garbage can; cut them to size and reuse them.

CD art, needle point and (fabric) paintings are some of the other options. In case the object would be a little heavy, use a few drops of hot glue to keep them in place. If it is not too heavy, a push pin or thumb nail will do the trick.

I bought this board, but they are easy to make. Cover a piece of wood with filling, wrap fabric around it and staple or glue it on the back. Position ribbon diagonal over the fabric and fasten it on the back as well. Cut a frame to fit and adhere a hanger on the back.

Should you have a frame already then simply cut the board to size or use the back that comes with the frame for wrapping the filling, fabric etc. It is a simple project with great potential.

So, get on board!
