It’s from H&M! I don’t think it’s available anymore though.

That white in blog world is pretty big yea haha. Highly encourage you to do your own color variation- customization is the best part of DIY! Please share if you end up doing that! Thanks, Rana <3

I might just have to try a reverse colour version seeing as my furniture is all black and decorations are white (I must be the only person in the blogosphere without all-white everything haha)

20×30 piece of thick foamboard (found in school supplies with bulletin boards),
fabric of your choice to cover board, (I usually get 3/4 of a yard to cover one board)
spray adhesive (least expensive can is found in the car accessories area!),
interfacing material (found in fabrics),
thin cord, ribbon or lace (for hanging), and,
decorations (I’ve used ribbon of all shapes and sizes, lace, puff stickers, etc.)

I spray the entire board on one whole side and cover that side of the board with a piece of interfacing material, that I’ve cut to the size of the board. This will be your top side.
Then I cut enough fabric to cover the board and lap around to the back side, iron the fabric out nice and smoothly and iron the edges under too so the backside will look nice as well.
I smooth the fabric out, centered over the interface-covered board, and carefully flip the board over. I spray ONE LONG EDGE of the board, on the back side, with the spray adhesive and very carefully glue this together.
I then go to the opposite long side, and while pulling the fabric nice and smooth on the front side, glue this side together the same way with the spray adhesive. Leaving the corners unglued (I do them last), I proceed to doing the same thing to the short sides of the board.
Then I tuck in the corners and spray them into place as nicely and sharp as I can get them.
Then you embellish the front side as desired! I’ve used all sizes of ribbons – thick and thin – puff stickers, lace (for girls, of course!)
And, lastly, to hang the board, I use 2 or 3 pieces of thin colored cord, thin ribbon or lace, in colors to match the fabric and/or embellishments, cut long enough to tie into a nice little bow as long as I want it to be from the board. They are glued from the top of the board, back side, (I go about 2/3 of the way from the side of the board on each side) and then I’ll cover them with a small piece of the fabric to tidy it up on the back side…This also helps to add more strength to the bow.

This is so easy to do and I’ve made it look so hard…I am not good at directions! I usually put way too much info in, thinking it will help! I wish I had a way to post pics of some of my finished ones – they are very pretty, if you take the time to iron and glue together without wrinkles and such! I’ve made many, many of these, given some away to grandchildren and friend’s children, and am selling on Facebook. I’m into making some with baby-looking fabrics smsy embellishments for newborn baby pics, for the new mom right now! So much fun! The kids and teens LOVE em. They can hang pics, letters, anything, on them! I usually give some push pins with the board so they can use right away!

It is an easy project, doesn’t take long to make one, and everyone loves them. Please share your thoughts…concern…questions….. with me and any new inspirations you come up with…..I’d LOVE to hear from you too! Thanks!
