A Fun Message Board ProjectOne small and very adorable element of the Girl's Dream Bedroom is this message board. I wasn't quite sure how to go about making one until I read Mrs. Limestone's blog highlighting just such a project...ding, ding, ding...got it!
Making for an easy start, there just happened to be this message board stored in the closet, found a while back at Target for $8.
Isabella is a girl who absolutely loves projects, with her help things moved quickly. First we sanded the frame and gave it a quick coat of paint.
Then a thin layer of Rust-oleum's Painter's Touch Brushed Metallic in Fool's Gold gave the frame some sparkle. This paint, in gold and platinum, is a favorite product that I find myself pulling out time after time.
While the frame dried, Isabella brushed each decorative nail with more of the metallic paint...she claimed this was a lot of fun! Ah, a girl after my own heart.
While the nails were drying, we cut out a layer of backing and covered the cork.
Next, a Thomas Paul fabric left over from a pillow project was cut to fit the board and layered over the "lining" with the edges folded under. After a break, the dried nails were pushed into the cork, securing the fabric in place. What a fun little project and, by using items and supplies already on hand, the cost was next to nothing. A sweet addition to the Girl's Dream Bedroom.

too cute! there is nothing the two of you can't pull off! LOVE IT!!!
I love this and think I'll do this for a client's daughter's bedroom. Did you have to take the frame off to tuck the fabric behind it?
LOVE your blog. We probably overlapped while living in SF. I am now just down the road in San Mateo (we longed for a yard!). Portland, OR is lovely though.
I am a follower now too!

Hi Cristin,
Where did you live in SF? I LOVED living in that city!
Regarding your question...no, I did not take off the frame. The fabric was cut with a one inch "seam allowance" that was turned under at the point where the fabric meets the frame. If you were working with a frame that could easily be removed, wrapping the fabric around the board would work...you would then have the option of not using the decorative nails.
Good luck! Janell
Aw, yours looks great! Who knew that when I posted my little idea it would take off in the blog world. I'm with Mrs. Limestone I really love the fabric you chose!
I LOVE this with the fabric!! I just might have to make another one! LOL

Terrific! The fabric is beautiful.
I'm a big fan of this fabric and I love the idea of using it for the bulletin board. The nail head detail is great too!
That fabric is beautiful. I like how you put it all together.

FAbulous! Love the colors you used. I need to get some decorative tacks for a board I just did. Don't think I"ll be painting them, though *wink*
Love it! Beautiful choice in fabric.
