As part of my new plans for my blog, i had mentioned possible "workshops" or how to's. Here is the first, making a pin board for displaying all your notes, as an inspiration board, or whatever else you might want to "pin up".
It is made from acoustical ceiling tiles, the 12" square type, and provide a functional yet decorative (and cheap) solution to pinning stuff up!
You Will Need:
Acoustical ceiling tile(s)- you can get these from the hardware for about $1 each.
Cover material-fabric, wallpaper, paint all work- whatever works to your decor best.
Staple gun-for wallpaper and fabric.
Glue/Gel medium- if you want to glue an image on, or to seal your paint.
Picture hangers-or other way to attach tiles to your wall.
X-acto knife-to trim tiles and cover material to size.
Screws- to hang with.
It doesnt take much time, especially if you are just covering the tiles with wallpaper or fabric (which i suggest as it can be replaced later if it gets too many pin holes, or you change your decor), and if you paint the tiles the longest part is waiting for the paint to dry. You dont need to primer the tiles to paint them either.
Hey, I recognize the coverings. Great idea!
